What we do

We champion animal companionship for people in need within your community focussing on practical and emotional support to help those going through difficult times by:

providing dog-walking or accompanied walking via our volunteers or others
offering advice and practical support via our volunteers to enable a pet to stay with its owner
arranging regular visits from a volunteer with their own dog
providing support around bereavement and acknowledging the impact of loss
sourcing, introducing and monitoring a new pet.

The help we give is not limited to dog and cat owners. We also work closely with horse owners facing challenges in caring for their animal or coping with the loss of a much-loved horse.

Sometimes we identify health and social needs that are currently not being met. Through our relationships with affiliate organisations in human health and animal welfare, we try to ensure that these additional needs are met.

We also encourage advance planning for the care of animals to give owners peace of mind so that the welfare of their pet will be maintained, should anything happen to them.
