Just For Me and My Dog - Our Mission

Supporting Homeless People & 

Their Companion Animals

Homelessness and mental health are deeply connected. For many people living on the streets, their dog is more than a pet — it’s their family, their emotional anchor, their only source of unconditional love.

A dog provides:

  • comfort

  • protection

  • routine

  • purpose

  • companionship

  • a reason to keep going

By supporting both the person and their dog together, we protect dignity, mental wellbeing, and the powerful human‑animal bond that helps people survive the hardest moments of their lives.


Our Vision

We are developing a program to provide meal deals to homeless individuals and their dogs. Each £4.50 donation will provide:

  • A meal deal for the person (food and water)

  • Wet and dry dog food

  • Hydration for both person and pet

A small act of kindness that makes a meaningful difference.


Current Status

Total raised to date: £0 — Not yet launched Launch status: We are currently in the planning stages and seeking partners to help distribute donations safely and effectively to those who need them most.

This transparency matters. We want supporters to see the journey from day one.


Why This Matters

The bond between homeless individuals and their dogs is life‑changing. For many, their dog is the only constant in a world full of uncertainty.

But this bond also creates challenges:

  • Many people refuse shelters if pets aren’t allowed

  • Some go hungry so their dog can eat

  • Access to vet care is limited

  • Mental health struggles are intensified by isolation

By supporting both person and animal together, we address:

  • mental health

  • dignity

  • companionship

  • safety

  • emotional resilience

This campaign is about compassion — for both halves of the partnership.
