About Only Paws

Hi, I'm Jonathan. These are my dogs.

And honestly, they're the reason Only Paws exists. I built it for every dog who's ever made a best friend in the park and never seen them again.

Why I built it

It started in the park.

If you've got a dog, you'll know the moment. Two dogs spot each other across the field, tails go, and suddenly they're the best of friends, chasing in circles like they've known each other for years.

Meanwhile the humans stand there, make a bit of small talk about the weather, then head home. And that's it. You never find out the other dog's name, and you never see them again.

I wanted a simple, friendly way for my dogs to find their mates again, and to make new ones.

So that's Only Paws. You swipe through the dogs near you, wag at the ones you like, and if their human wags back you can say hello and plan a walk. It's all about the dogs. No awkward profiles about the humans, no pressure to meet, and it's completely free.

It's free because it should be. Dogs don't charge for friendship, so neither do we.

Who's behind it

Made by Delivered Social.

By day I run Delivered Social, a digital marketing agency I founded in 2016, with offices in Guildford, Portsmouth and Dubai. We build websites, apps and social media for businesses, and we've always had dogs in the office. Only Paws is our own project, built by the same team.
