🐾🐾🦴
🐾 Just for our 1,200 adopted-dog families

Where our rescue dogs grow up together.

A warm, private home for the families who adopted from us β€” share the happy updates, ask the questions every new dog-parent has, and find a walking buddy down the street. No more losing moments in a messy Facebook group.

Families who already found their people here
What you can do

Three things, done simply.

We kept it deliberately small. No clutter, no algorithm, no strangers β€” just the good stuff that keeps our pack connected.

Share the happy updates

Post photos and little milestones β€” first beach day, the gotcha-day anniversary, that ridiculous sleeping position. Quick to post, lovely to scroll.

Ask the real questions

Crate training, car rides, that mystery 3am bark β€” ask other adopters who've been exactly where you are. Honest answers from people who get it.

Find a walking buddy nearby

See which adopters live close and set up a walk. More socialising for the dogs, more friendly faces for you β€” meet the neighbours you didn't know you had.

Why not just the Facebook group?

Built for this. Only this.

  • Members-onlyEvery person here adopted from us. Say hello knowing everyone belongs.

Not a generic platform.

Mighty Networks, Circle and Slack are built for everything. We built Adopter Circle for one thing: supporting the families who gave our dogs a home. That focus is the whole point.

A peek inside

Every member is a neighbour you'll actually meet.

Profiles are simple and warm β€” your dog, your gotcha day, roughly where you walk. Enough to say hello and set up a stroll, nothing more. No follower counts, no performance, no noise.
