You are invited to join our Facebook group Dog Friendly Dorset

We (Dorset Dogs Pet Food Bank) will be opening shortly in Weymouth, Ferndown and surrounding areas. If you need a Pet Food Bank in your area please contact us, and please donate to support Dorset Dogs CIC below

Dorset Dogs CIC is incorporated as a social enterprise under registration number 13741228.

This comes as a response to the increased pressures on pet owners due to the cost-of-living crisis. According to the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH) survey of more than 60 animal shelters across England, 92% of shelters have seen an increase in people wanting to surrender a dog compared to pre-pandemic levels, and 88% saw an increase in people wanting to surrender cats.
