*URGENT APPEAL FOR FUNDING*

Lockdown meant that we were only able to rehome a few dogs, the donations from which normally fund 33% of our operations. Now we have many dogs arriving and are able to rehome them, but urgently need funds to support them and, in particular, to pay their vet bills. Any donation large or small will make a significant difference to our survival as a charity. Please donate (click on button at top right) to keep us alive!

Thank you

Welcome

Based in the heart of Somerset in the South West of England, our passion is for helping dogs and owners in need.

 

Dogs Friends is run by a small group of dedicated volunteers who are totally committed and relentlessly busy. Almost all our dogs are in individual foster care in the surrounding area as we prefer them to live in a domestic setting where at all possible.

Why are we called Dogs Friends?

📝 Update from Dolly and Thomas’ adoption home 📝 “I am pleased to tell you that they have fitted in perfectly! They are wonderful companions to our resident tri colour (Winston) who lost his big brother last year, and are an absolute delight. Dolly is calm and sweet. She loves her food and walks beautifully on a lead. Her personality has gradually come out more and more, and she now she collects anything and everything to take to her bed! When she first arrived, Dolly was a big 14.75kg. Her daily exercise and careful diet means she last weighed in at 12.2kg which has make an enormous difference to her comfort walking, moving and playing.Thomas is far more nervous, especially around food and people. He now eats from a bowl and in the presence of the other dogs, and us. His confidence has grown so much in that area. In recent hot weather, we even got him to sit and take turns having ten seconds of lick of doggy ice-cream with the others! We have been slowly building up their twice daily walks and he gets better every day when we meet other people in the village. Yesterday we walked over 2 miles which is their longest yet…Thank you so much for trusting us with these beautiful souls. They have turned our home back into a happy place again after the devastation of losing our first dog.” ... See MoreSee Less

🙏 Week of wishes 🙏 We are kicking off our ‘week of wishes’ for the sweet souls in foster care who would love some treats to give them a happiness boost! First up is dear little Kia, here’s what her foster carer has to say:“Kia is a sweet natured little dog. She would love to be rewarded for being a good girl with pure duck, chicken or beef pate rolls. She's feeling a little bit sorry for herself at the moment as she's just had an operation but I'm sure pate rolls will cheer her up!”Kia’s wish: www.platinumpetcare.co.uk/shop/dogs-friends-wish-list/14?page=1&limit=60&sort_by=popularity_score...If you’d like to grant Kia’s wish, we would be ever so grateful if you could order at the link (selecting ‘store pick up’ and adding code DF10 at check out) and one of our volunteers will collect directly from Platinum Petcare. ...
