Relationships generally have a "half life" moving towards decay, including family.

People generally have to deliberately locate, cultivate, grow, and maintain relationships - unless you are a movie star, I am not.

I love dogs, but don't let them be a surrogate for human relationships.

Clubs are excellent way to do something you enjoy with people that enjoy it also - but, again, these take deliberate work.

Good luck - you can do it !
