Donating my hair

Our mission here at Irish Dogs for the Disabled is to assist children and adults living with physical disabilities to enjoy a greater independence and a better quality of life and where possible, to help them into education and employment, through the provision our specially trained Assistance Dogs provided free of charge to the recipient. To improve the quality of life for individuals with special needs whilst at the same time promoting independence and improvement to their social interaction through the placement of our Therapy dogs. Our aim is to train dogs to the highest standard set by the Assistance Dogs International. The training programme of our Assistance Dogs is specially designed to assist people with their particular physical disabilities. Through practical tasks our dogs offer freedom and independence, but in addition, an assistance dog becomes a reason to go out, giving a new found confidence that opens doors to fresh opportunities including friendships, hobbies, education and even careers. The partnerships we create between people living with physical disabilities and dogs are life-changing. To continue to develop our breeding and training programmes to ensure we remain current and place assistance dogs with the best health and temperament possible.

Story

We have been involved with dogs for the disabled for nearly 10 years, my father initially had the idea to get involved with the charity and help foster puppies prior to their full-time training. Sadly my mother passed away from cancer a few years ago, my dad and myself still take on dogs and help in whatever way we can.

Because of my mothers passing and her cancer treatment I will also be donating my hair when we hit our fundraising target.

Irish dogs for disabled is a charity founded in 2007 and helps improve the lives of children and adults living with physical disabilities in Ireland.

All funds raised will go towards the training and welfare of the dogs being trained, over the course of the dogs lifetime over 15000 euro will be invested into its training.

Any donations are greatly appreciated.
