Pup Dates is a vibrant community of small dog lovers. We organise fun-filled, dog-friendly events that bring people and pups together—from laid-back lunches and scenic picnics to high teas, market strolls, and luxurious coach trips.

Pup Dates is all about celebrating small dog, delighting in tail wags, puppy cuddles and zoomies.
ONE TRAIN CARRIAGE - WE NEED 20,000 SIGNATURES TO GET THIS DEBATED IN PARLIAMENT
Your dog should not need a car to be part of your life.
For people who do not own or cannot drive a car, the current ban on companion dogs on NSW trains can make veterinary appointments, family visits, moving house, holidays and ordinary community life extraordinarily difficult.
We are asking the NSW Government to conduct a two-year trial of one clearly designated pet-friendly carriage on every train.
Not every carriage. Not unrestricted access. One designated space offering responsible dog owners a transport option while allowing passengers with allergies, fears or other concerns to choose a pet-free carriage.
We need 20,000 signatures by 4 November 2026 for the petition to be debated in the NSW Parliament. Please add your name, then share the petition with three NSW residents. Together, 20,000 voices can put this practical proposal before Parliament.
Help us secure a parliamentary debate on pet-friendly trains in NSW.

If you live in NSW, please sign today—then send the petition to three people.
