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

Through my job, I've been lucky enough to have been working with Canine Partners for about 6 months. This amazing charity relies solely on public donations to provide specially trained dogs to assist people with disabilities, helping them to enjoy a greater independence and quality of life.

When I visited their training facilities, I was taken aback by what they do and how much support they provide. They train each dog to specifically meet the needs of the individual, and the staff work incredibly hard. It is amazing to hear how much of a difference these dogs make to peoples lives. Not only do they help with everyday tasks, but they also provide other benefits such as increased independence and confidence, as well as motivation and self-esteem.

So, what I really want to do is raise enough money to help make a difference to the training centre. Please give what you can, and make sure that you tick the gift aid box!

 

Anyhow, better get training!
