"Improving the lives of shelter dogs, while supporting community mental health!"

Welcome to Dogs Canberra!

As a registered charity, we focus on rehabilitating dogs from traditional shelters, helping them build resilience through professional training and community interaction.

Our open-shelter model allows people to walk, play, and bond with our dogs—benefiting both pups and humans alike. Through our Pilot Program (2024-2025), we're creating lasting connections while reducing shelter overcrowding.

Join us in making a difference, one wagging tail at a time!
