A dog’s love does not come with conditions.
They do not love us only when life is easy. They do not leave us when we are tired, stressed, broke, impatient, imperfect, or old. They stay. They wait. They forgive. They love unconditionally.
No Returned Love is our unwavering belief that dogs are not objects to be returned when they become inconvenient.
They are living beings.
They bond. They trust. They remember.
They feel disruption, confusion, and loss.
No Returned Love does not mean every owner is perfect or every situation is simple.
It means we choose responsibility before abandonment. Intervention before crisis. Solutions before giving up.
It means that when life becomes hard, the answer should not be to quietly leave a dog behind.
Every dog deserves safety, food, care, and a home that does not give up on them.
But we also know the truth: sometimes people are overwhelmed. Sometimes money becomes a constraint. Sometimes regret, exhaustion, or guilt quietly builds behind closed doors.
Some are bought impulsively.
Some are left behind when life moves overseas.
Some are surrendered when behaviour becomes difficult.
Some simply become too much for people who did not know how much care a dog truly needs.
We do not believe in judging people at their lowest point.
But we do believe in protecting dogs from becoming the consequence of that point.
The deardogs Foundation exists for that moment.
Before a dog is abandoned.
Before a dog is returned.
Before a family gives up.
Our role is simple: step in early, support better, and prevent a dog from losing it's home.
The deardogs Foundation is focused on practical, direct support for dogs in need.
Our work may include:
Essential care support
Helping provide food and everyday care essentials for dogs whose families are struggling financially.
Education and prevention
Helping dog owners understand what dogs truly need — so fewer dogs are bought impulsively, misunderstood, or failed later.
Early intervention
Supporting owners before a situation becomes abandonment, neglect, or surrender.
Welfare partnerships
Working with trusted rescue groups, shelters, foster networks, trainers, vets, and animal welfare advocates where relevant.
Responsible rehoming support
When staying together is truly not possible, helping guide the process towards safer, more responsible options.
Every time you purchase from deardogs, a portion of our sales goes towards the deardogs Foundation.
Your purchase helps support dogs who are not as fortunate — dogs who may need food, care essentials, welfare support, emergency help, or a safer way forward.
So when you choose deardogs, you are not just buying better care for your own dog.
You are helping extend care to another dog who may not have anyone else.
Better care for your dog. A better chance for another.
If you are caring for a dog and you feel overwhelmed, you are not alone.
You may be thinking:
“I don’t know if I can afford this anymore.”
“I wasn’t prepared for this.”
“My dog’s behaviour is becoming too difficult.”
“I made the wrong decision.”
Before you abandon, return, or surrender your dog without a plan, speak to us.
Reach out to us at care@deardogs.com
We will listen without shame.
We will try to understand the situation.
We will help you think through the next responsible step.
We cannot promise that every situation can be fixed. But we can promise this: we will care enough to try our best.
