ABOUT THE CLUB

The Metropolitan Dog Club was founded by Patricia Enright, Dr. Joel Gavriele-Gold, Jane St. Lifer Kennedy, Fran Prince and Charlotte Reed at Balthazar restaurant in the summer of July 2007. As pure-bred dog enthusiasts, this group wanted to create a social club that addressed the current needs of dog owners but also provided a benefit to the community in which they lived. After many shared dinning experiences, the group drafted a Mission Statement as a foundation to support and guide the club for years to come.
