*URGENT APPEAL FOR FUNDING*

We are desperately in need of funds. It is extremely rare for the donation we receive when rehoming a dog to be more than we have spent on the dog and, in the great majority of cases, would not even cover the cost of vet treatment for the dog. For many dogs, we incur very high vet bills. We can only survive because of the generosity of our supporters. Any donation, large or small, will make a significant difference to our survival as a charity. If you can, PLEASE DONATE 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?

We are, as always, totally full at the kennels with dogs who are yet to find foster and adoptive homes 🐾 We are starting to resemble a Shepherd shelter with the number of Malinois and Shepherd breeds who have been sadly abandoned or given up - and from speaking to specialist rescues for this breed they are also experiencing a huge number of intakes. This week our spotlight will be on our 'kennels dogs' who desperately need foster or adoptive homes. We are in particular need of experienced, breed savvy and child-free homes - a tall order we know but we have to dream big for these dogs 🤞 ... See MoreSee Less

After being inspired by fantastic charity Schnauzerfest’s #mothersofmany campaign, we’d like to take a moment to think of all of out ex-breeding dogs on mothers day 🌸 Many of our girls have had many litters of puppies before arriving in rescue, but fortunately now can have happy retirements in the safety of foster and adoptive homes 🌸 ...

Jodie foster update 🧡Jodie had the first part of her surgeries yesterday and had her bi-lateral hernia repair, spay and heart scan. Jodie will have to go back in a couple of weeks time as sadly she also has several mammary masses. It seems she has had many, many puppies so we are glad that yesterday signified the end of that 🙏Despite this, Jodie has been incredibly brave and slotted into the pack of rescue dog in her foster home beautifully. So what do we know about her so far?👍🏼 Jodie likes: Snuggles, drinking people’s cups of tea when they aren’t looking, sunbathing 👎🏼 Jodie dislikes: When there are no more treats, not being first in the queue for breakfast 🦸‍♀️ Jodie’s superpowers: Ability to make you fall in love with her in approximately 0.5 seconds, super speed tail wagging We look forward to giving Jodie the very best of care in the coming weeks 🐾 ...
