Is there an app to meet other dog owners for dog park meetups?

The short answer

Yes. Pet Dates is a MOOD on MOOD Social & Dating for people whose pets are part of their life. Everyone in it welcomes your dog, so a plan like “Dog park this weekend?” is a normal first move. It starts as friendship, and sometimes it becomes more.
