Dogs for Good

Charity registered in Scotland SC039828

OUR BIG BELIEF Dogs and the bond that we share with them enable people to lead healthier, happier lives. OUR TRUTHS Connections between people and dogs make for a more inclusive society, where dogs play a valuable, often life-changing role alongside people. Dogs can support people in ways other humans can’t — without judgement or agenda — helping them to feel more visible in their communities. Understanding the needs of each person and dog in equal measure leads to a stronger, more supportive bond between them — resulting in a better life for both. OUR PURPOSE Bring people and dogs together to make life possible. By unlocking the boundless possibilities of the bond we share with dogs, and the positive change these connections can bring about for families, communities and society as a whole. OUR PROMISE Our commitments to our community and the people and dogs we work with … Seek to understand We see, hear and understand each other, every person and dog we work with, as individuals. Respect all needs We take into account that everyone’s needs are different and, person or dog, equally as valuable. Make positive connections We all play a part in building the connections that make life feel possible, and which make for a more supportive community.
