Dogs of BorrowMyDoggy

I never imagined there was a such a thing as borrowing dogs, it’s such a fabulous idea for anyone who wants to have some company of a furry friend.

We are forever grateful to BMD & Sandy & Gurpal for letting us be a part of this beautiful journey!

Cookie is a kooikerhondje. We wanted to ensure Cookie wasn't shy, so we signed up for BorrowMyDoggy.

I previously had a Labrador as teenager and I was heartbroken when he passed away. I felt unable to get another dog as he was the family’s everything.

After Teddy has been out for the day he comes back happy and he is more content 😌 and tired for a couple of days.

The first dog I 'liked' was a six-year-old Norfolk Terrier called Red. His owner Stephen got in touch to suggest a coffee.

Stanley’s borrower, Maxine, shares how her time with Stanley has brought joy, fitness, and a renewed sense of purpose into her life - turning simple walks into adventures and companionship into lasting friendship!
