EXTGen Detroit brought together pet parents 
and their furry friends for a Canine Happy 
Hour Oct. 24 at Red Oaks Dog Park in Madison 
Heights.
“It was nice to meet new people who I haven’t seen 
come out to NEXTGen Detroit events and see people 
with their dogs,
” said Carly Schiff, event chair for Canine 
Happy Hour. 
Schiff has been involved with NEXTGen for years. 
Being a Michigan native, she enjoys being involved with 
the Metro Detroit Jewish community.
“I go to NEXTGen Detroit events that interest me, and 
I have some close friends who are on the executive board. 
So, if they’re planning events, I go and support them.
”
Throughout the puppy play date event, NEXTGen 
Detroiters got to schmooze while their pups got to sniff 
around and socialize. 
“It was a great event and my dog, Truffle Fry Schiff, 
was very happy, filthy and slept really good after the 
event,
” Schiff said.
