Our primary purpose is to socialize our dogs and make new friends via monthly meetups.
The Organizers of NYCYP are Rece & Tasasha and their precious Yorkie Playgroup hosts: Maximus & Peanut (pictured below).
Our History and Our Mission: The NYC Yorkie Playgroup was founded a few years back and has been through a few organizer changes. Rece stepped up into the vacant spot as organizer in February, 2006. A Yorkie Meetup regular, Tasasha quickly assumed the role as co-organizer and Rece made it official shortly thereafter.
The membership has doubled since Rece & Tasasha took lead of the group. We also raised the group's overall rating from 2 stars to 4.75 stars!! It is our mission to continue to build our group by creating fun, exciting, purposeful events and activites for our members.
Our long-term mission is to grow into a relevant resource within the doggie community. In addition to our gatherings, we plan to build strong relationships with various businesses that serve the canine community so that we may give informative recommendations. We plan to connect with local canine charities to offer donations and assistance and use our collective voices to help change or institute dog-friendly laws and policies.
Members of our playgroup are committed to actively participating and make an effort to attend all events and frequent the message boards.
