“At Furry Friends, our aim is simple: to bring comfort, companionship, and confidence through the power of dog therapy.”
Who do we help?
We support children, adults, and the elderly who may be struggling with anxiety, isolation, or special educational needs.
Our therapy dogs bring companionship, calm and connection to those who need it most.
Where do the dogs visit?
Our dogs visit schools, care homes, hospitals and community centres across Hampshire.
Visits are arranged regularly and can be tailored to suit the needs of each group.
Why are therapy dogs so effective?
Interacting with dogs has been shown to reduce cortisol (the stress hormone), lower blood pressure, and improve mood.
Their calm, non-judgemental presence makes them ideal for emotional support, particularly for those who struggle to connect with people.
