Our Walks & Socials team is busy behind the scenes planning a tail-wagging line-up of events for the months ahead, from countryside strolls and park meet-ups to coffee catch-ups and city wanderings. Each outing is a lovely way for Dandies (and their humans!) to meet, mingle and make memories together.
We’ll be adding new dates and details soon, so keep an eye on this page for the full calendar.
Paws up for exciting things ahead!
