We provide & train assistance dogs to veterans with PTSD

Story

Service Dogs UK trains and provides assistance dogs to support members of the Armed Forces and Emergency Services who have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. They use dogs from rescue centres to achieve unique partnerships that will greatly enhance the lives of both.   When I came home from two short but intense deployments in Afghanistan it was hard to adjust straight back to life at home.  On post tour leave, once the children had been dropped off to school, I was on my own for the day.  I felt isolated and a bit adrift but having Enzo for company, to go out for long walks and 'talk to' made it bearable until I had adjusted back to the family routine.  Dogs are amazing companions and the effect they can have on an individual or family that is experiencing the distress of coping with PTSD can be life saving.  I hope this is a cause that you feel you can support too.  Thank you.
