Your dogs’ support & wellness hub.

Welcome to Dorset Dogs CIC

“This dog community is how the world should be..... compassionate, supportive, generous and informative” Sarah McEnnerney-Stevens

Our goal is to raise awareness of just how extraordinary the relationship between humans and dogs can be and the life changing affects it can have to both sides. Dogs help us humans with our mental, emotional and physical health. Dogs’ don’t have a voice and we want to support their wellbeing within the community. Making Dorset as dog friendly as possible.

This is your ‘directory of dog’.

In 2023 we created 12 Pet Food Banks in 12 months - across Dorset to support this important connection between human and dog. We are a not-for-profit fundraising to help in the welfare of dogs.

JUST GIVING FUNDRAISER TO RAISE

£350 to OPEN SWANAGE PET FOOD BANK and fill the box with food during this Winter crisis

Merlin's Pet Food Bank has been sent an appeal this Winter from a lady who takes the bus all the way from Swanage to our Pet Food Bank in Poole, to feed her dog. The aim is to help set one up in Swanage, find a local business place to act as a donations point and to fill the box to the brim with pet food for Christmas and beyond into the cold winter.

Please be generous to help our pets stay with their families x
