Find dog friends nearbyfor your big, misunderstood goofball.

Create a clear profile, choose your search radius and review nearby suggestions. If both owners are interested, chat first and arrange a calm introduction only when the fit feels right to both of you.

Yes. Every size of dog is welcome, and a good match depends on the individual pair, not the breed. Fennaro is proudly friendly to large and working breeds, whose owners often face the most rejection.

Size, energy, play style and temperament are the main signals. They give useful context and pair-specific cautions, but they cannot promise that two dogs will get along, which is why owners always decide.

You cannot know for certain in advance. Compatibility is judged carefully over time, so compare profiles, notice possible differences, and treat a calm first meeting as a test rather than a promise.

Set your search radius and browse nearby owners whose dogs suit yours for size and energy. After mutual interest you can chat and plan a walk or a calm meet-up together.

Fennaro shows dog parks and off-lead areas near you on a map, with the walking distance from where you are. When you plan a meet-up with a matched owner you can attach one of those parks to it, so both of you turn up at the same place.

Local groups are useful noticeboards, but posts rarely hold structured details about each dog. Fennaro organises profiles, pairwise signals, mutual interest and private chat around one possible introduction at a time.

Chat opens once both owners show interest, so the first contact is mutual. Use it to discuss routines, concerns and meeting conditions, then choose a calm, neutral spot before the dogs meet.

They should not. Fennaro uses an approximate, fuzzed point for nearby discovery and never stores or shows your exact coordinates, so other owners see general proximity, never your address.

Compare size, energy, play style, temperament and any pair-specific cautions. Talk openly with the other owner, pick a calm neutral setting, and stop if either dog looks uncomfortable.

A calm, gradual introduction with space and attentive handlers is usually easier than immediate close contact. Every dog is different, so follow qualified guidance and never force interaction.

Sometimes, with care. An app is not a treatment for reactivity, but a profile and chat let owners share context first. Arrange any meeting on the advice of a qualified trainer, behaviourist or vet.

Not always. Some dogs enjoy selected company, while others prefer distance or calm parallel walks. Watch the individual dog's comfort and never force direct contact just because socialising seems expected.

Yes. On Fennaro, creating a profile, finding nearby dogs, matching, messaging and arranging a meeting are part of the free core experience. This makes no promise about possible future optional features.

Meet in a calm public place, share plans only after chatting, and trust your judgement. You can also block or report another owner inside the product, though no tool can make every interaction risk free.

Go slowly and let good experiences build up. Short, low-pressure meetings with a well-matched, calm dog often work better than a busy dog park, and a qualified trainer can help with a nervous or adult dog.
