The Thin Blue Paw Foundation will Protect, Celebrate & Rehabilitate serving and retired Police dogs from across the United Kingdom.

Rehabilitate

After retiring from active service, the cost of caring for a retired Police Dog falls solely to their previous handler and/or new owner.

It is nearly impossible to find an insurance company to cover any veterinary or rehabilitation treatment for these canine heroes. So, that’s where we step in and provide much needed finical support to help cover costs of medication, hydrotherapy etc.

We won’t turn any police dog away and our fund is open to all retired Police Dogs within the UK.

Protect

We will provide greater protection for serving Police dogs, through influencing law makers and supporting campaigns such as #FinnsLaw and #FinnsLawPart2.

In addition, we are the UK’s first charity to explore providing PPE (personal protective equipment) for serving police dogs across the UK, including stab vests, paw protectors, canine first aid kits etc.

Celebrate

Everyday Police Dogs are on the frontline keeping us safe. From finding high risk missing people to catching criminals, they go above and beyond to provide an outstanding service to the communities in which they serve. They risk their lives so we can stay safe!

Through the #ThinBuePawAwards we celebrate and shine a light on their incredible achievements both whilst in service and during retirement.

Our charity application is currently pending with the charity commission.
