Do you love small dogs? do you love coffee, cake, great company, and books?! Then join us at Leashes End each month as we discuss a new dog-themed book.  Send an email to [email protected] or call or text 202-596-6289.  Small, well-behaved dogs are welcome!  Following the discussion we take the dogs for a romp on Leashes End’s extensive, fenced in grounds.

August 2024: Our April book club will meet at 1pm on Sunday, 11 April. We will review the international bestseller The Traveling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa. Satoru, a young man, travels around Japan with his cat, Nana. His goal is to find a new owner for Nana, as compelling circumstances make it impossible for the two of them to continue living together.

Leashes End is proud to host periodic small dog social events. These are opportunities for small dogs to run around and play off leash in our large fenced-in yard and for owners to get to know each other. Leashes End has nearly 3 acres of fenced-in grass where the dogs can run around safely, giving their humans some peace of mind while they nosh and socialize. Does this sound like a club for you and your small dog? Our next event is TBD … stay tuned for updates!
