Zack - An amazing dog who gave me the gift of independence

We are Canine Partners. We carefully match people with a variety of physical disabilities with expertly trained assistance dogs, creating loving, life-changing partnerships.

Story

Canine Partners aims to transform the lives of people with disabilities, enabling them to live more independently by partnering them with highly trained assistance dogs. These dogs respond to a wide range of commands, enabling them to carry out a vast number of tasks that enable their partner to live more independently and free lives. 

As one of the beneficiaries of the Charity's work, I discovered just what a difference a dog could make to my independence and wellbeing. Zack, my dog,  opened doors for me, picked up objects I'd dropped and brought me things I couldn't reach. His loving character and company helped to keep my mental health on the straight and narrow too.

Now he's passed on, I want to help others to receive the same gift of independence and freedom. Please give generously to support Canine Partners to provide more dogs for more people like me. 

So please, dig deep and donate now.
