COLLARS is a charity fund to help support the dogs who have served with Cleveland Police following their retirement from the Force. We are independent from Cleveland Police. Very few Police Forces are able to provide any financial support when their dogs retire. It is our intention to step in and provide financial help towards their veterinary bills. This should allow them to get the best healthcare possible, ensuring that they have an excellent quality of life in their retirement years. So, what about insurance, you may ask? Whilst not impossible to obtain for retired Police dogs, the premium prices quoted often make it cost prohibitive for new owners and any pre-existing injuries or illnesses sustained throughout their working life will not be covered. All of us at COLLARS believe that our Police dogs deserve the very best of care in their retirement; their health and well-being should be the number one priority. We want to ensure that owners of Cleveland Police retired dogs receive support to help provide the VIP retirement that the dogs have earned and deserve. "They have served with bravery, loyalty and honour. It is now time for us to repay them".
