Our Mission
Our Mission
Hi, I’m Vanessa, and I started Dogs Only Social Club to create more opportunities for people to enjoy activities with their dogs and connect with others. When I adopted my rescue dog, Cotton, I often wished there were more dog-friendly things to do together. After he passed, I was inspired to build a community that brings people together, highlights the unique places and businesses that make LA special for dog lovers, and raises awareness for animal welfare. That’s how Dogs Only Social Club began.
Our mission is to create fun and inclusive experiences and connections for pet lovers, while supporting local LA businesses and creating awareness for animal welfare.
Our Inspiration
Our Inspiration
Cotton (pictured) passed away in 2021 but continues to live on as the inspiration and mascot behind this community. Cotton was my fourth foster dog through Hollywood Huskies who rescued him from Bakersfield Animal Care Center. He quickly became a foster fail when I fell in love and adopted him. He was a chill five year old Great Pyrenees, loved going on adventures and became my best friend and only family in the US. Cotton's friendliness and infectious energy helped me meet so many people I otherwise wouldn't have, even through the thick of COVID.
Our Vision
Our Vision
Since Cotton's passing, I have been inspired to support the dog community and advocate for animal welfare. I continue to foster and volunteer with local rescues and have also become an official volunteer at the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center. My vision is to use Dogs Only Social Club to help support charitable initiatives and spread awareness of adoption, fostering and volunteer opportunities.
