Welcome to Dorset Dogs (and Dog Friendly Dorset Facebook Group) - your dogs support hub.

“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 (and pets) are to humans’ wellbeing. Dogs help us as humans with our mental and physical health.

That's why in 2023 we created 12 Pet Food Banks in 12 months - across Dorset to support this important connection between human and dog, helping to keep families together during this cost-of-living crisis. This is a crisis point in our country: with the cost-of-living, dogs being banned, less and less space for our dogs to be. The post-Covid spike in breeding of dogs and poor socialisation means we need more and more support as dog parents living in community with each other. We are here to help wherever we can. See all we have to offer below. And email to join our team hello@dorsetdogs.com

CANINE COUPLES THERAPY

The human-dog relationship is symbiotic.

Often our dogs are the only beings who we can truly connect with, who don’t judge us and who can help us humans through the worst of times.

Canine Couples Therapy is counselling with a difference. It involves you and your dog.

At Dorset Dogs, our aim is to raise the awareness of how important dogs are to a human’s mental health. And we offer ways to help you and your dog to cope in the current climate of depression, anxiety, money worries and loss of purpose. READ MORE
