New Owners Take On The Dog Furiendly Platform
For immediate release
After seven years of serving the dog-friendly community, Dog Furiendly was set to close its doors in October 2024. However, a new chapter begins as the platform transitions to new ownership, bringing fresh ideas and new opportunities.
Emma Johnson is the new Owner of Dog Furiendly and brings with her a wealth of experience, with a background in Marketing and Interior Photography. Emma also manages a social media account for her dogs (@TheHandsomePugs), which gives her a unique perspective on the industry.
Emma is committed to building on Dog Furiendly’s mission by expanding and improving the platform. She plans to grow the number of dog-friendly listings across the UK while ensuring they are as helpful and detailed as possible, making it even easier for dog owners to discover the best places to visit.
Emma Johnson, Owner of Dog Furiendly says: “I knew instantly that I wanted to be part of Dog Furiendly’s future. Adele (the Founder of Dog Furiendly) has built something amazing and I am incredibly excited to take the reins and build on the platform’s success”.
