A dog is a man’s best friend is what they say. And we couldn’t agree more. To have a dog by your side teaches you compassion in a way no one else can. You learn to communicate without any language, just love, sloppy kisses, and tilty nods. While many of us dream of having a dog in our family, it’s not always possible due to many reasons. Especially when you live in Mumbai, there is space crunch in most of the houses. We cannot avoid this, but that should not stop us spending quality time with these furry babies. So, here are a few places you can visit to chill with dogs.

1. Pawfect Life

Approximate cost for an hour – ₹2oo per person

2. Puppy Cuddles Dog Cafe

Approximate cost for an hour – ₹250 per person

3. Petsville

Approximate cost for an hour – ₹200 per person

4. Cafe Pefe

If You Want To Do More Than Just Pet And Spend Time

5. World For All

They take in volunteers only when there is a requirement, so keep an eye on their Facebook page. You can, although, help with fundraising, getting the animals adopted, taking care of the pets, and marketing.

6. Save Our Strays

They have many options for you here. You can help them raise funds, get their animals adopted, or even sponsor an animal for a minimum of one-month duration. Works with people who do not have the time to go and help physically as well.

7. BSPCA

If you wish to become a volunteer here, you need to give them at least 12 hours per month of your time. You can become a foster mom or dad, become a dog walker, groomer, pet photographer, kennel caretaker and also help them raise funds.

8. YODA

You can volunteer here as a groomer and/or feeder of their resident dogs, raise funds, help with adoptions, take the animals to vets and much more.

So, if you’re a dog lover or animal lover, these places should be on your go-to list when you are craving for some furry love or wish to make a difference in their lives.
