🐕 My ideal day would involve...running around, playing hide and seek with my best friends in the woods
🍗 My favourite treat is... a lamb’s tail, but please don’t tell my Mum because she’s veggie! 🤫
🤩 Scratch me here, please: On my back around my tail
💚 My life motto is...be friendly, kind, and have lots of fun! 🐾

The CareDogs Mission
We forge life-changing connections between older people and dogs who need rehoming, by facilitating and supporting dog adoption through our support network of volunteers, charities and local intergenerational communities.
At CareDogs, our actions are focused on the following:
Tackling loneliness in the older community.
Helping older rescue dogs in need of rehoming.
Providing opportunities to volunteers who want to do good, get outdoors and connect with people.
1 MILLION 75-year-olds who live alone say they go over a month without speaking to a friend, neighbour or family member while 130,000 dogs go into rehoming centres in the UK every year, often because their owner doesn’t have enough time for them. Help us alleviate these two problems today.
