DOGGY DANDERS

Doggy Danders is a volunteer-led group of dog lovers dedicated to building an inclusive, supportive community that enriches the lives of both dogs and humans; in other words, to build a happier, healthier world one paw at a time.

Starting as 5 friends walking in the Falls Park just over a year ago, Doggy Danders now attracts 70 to 100 people into the park with their dogs every week, strengthening the bond between pets and people.

It is more than walking - Doggy Danders is building connections, supporting well-being, and giving back through support for local businesses and charities. From their weekly post-walk picnic in the park where friends enjoy donation-backed drinks and tasty treats, to fundraising drives for like-minded partners such as Guide Dogs NI and Almost Home NI, Doggy Danders has cemented its place as a vibrant and caring community in West Belfast and beyond."
