Your dogs’ support hub.

Welcome to Dorset Dogs CIC (& Dog Friendly Dorset Group)

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

Our goal is to raise awareness of how important dogs are to humans’ wellbeing. 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.

You can help us to help dogs and pets in Dorset by becoming a member £2/month
