Give a Dog a Bone offer a collection of community spaces across Scotland, including Glasgow, Troon, Alloa, and Dunfermline, where people can drop in for companionship, a friendly chat, and the joyful company of their companionship Dogs. These safe and welcoming hubs provide free activities such as dog walks, yoga, mindfulness, and more - helping people feel connected and supported.
Another great initiative provided by Give a Dog a Bone is their financial support programme, which helps older adults adopt rescue animals by covering rehoming fees and ongoing pet costs. This initiative means more people can welcome a furry friend into their lives, while giving animals the second chance they deserve.
