Welcome To Furry Friends
Furry Friends is a therapy dog charity based in Hampshire, dedicated to bringing joy, comfort, and companionship through the calming power of dogs. Our trained therapy dogs visit care homes, schools, hospitals, and community groups, offering support to those who need it most. Whether you’re looking to book a visit, volunteer, or simply learn more about what we do — we’re always excited to connect with fellow dog lovers.
Why Therapy Dogs?
Dogs have an incredible ability to lift our spirits, calm our nerves, and brighten even the darkest days.
At Furry Friends, we believe in the unique bond between people and dogs — and we’ve seen first-hand how powerful that connection can be.
Our therapy dogs are gentle, well-trained, and love to meet new people.
Whether it’s a friendly tail wag or a quiet cuddle, they offer emotional support that words sometimes can’t.
Review - Willow Grove Care Home
“The visit from Furry Friends completely lit up our residents’ faces. Alfie the labrador was so gentle and patient — even those who rarely speak were smiling and engaging with him. It’s hard to describe just how much these visits mean to us.”
— Sarah J., Activities Coordinator at Willow Grove Care Home
Review - Riverbank Primary School
“My students absolutely adored meeting Bella! She helped create such a calm atmosphere, and it really supported the children with additional needs. We’ll definitely be inviting Furry Friends back again!”
— Miss Patel, SEN Teacher at Riverbank Primary School
