About Giveadogabone.Net
We tackle loneliness and social isolation in our ageing years, through animal companionship. . .
Giveadogabone.Net Description
'Give a Dog a Bone. . . and an animal a home' is a registered charity, founded in November 2013.
We have two main projects:
1) We support the over 60s to afford a rescue pet companion - tackling loneliness for the individual and homelessness for the animal. This project is UK wide
2) We have a Community Space project, where we offer free activities for the over 60s and drop in times for the whole community (of any age) to pop in for a cuppa and a chat and meet our Companionship Dogs! This project is called 'Companionship in the Community' and is currently based in Glasgow and Troon (Scotland).
To date, our work has been recognised in the following ways:
