Each and every one of our assistance dogs in training has unique and individual talents and this is necessary for us to meet the growing needs of our partnerships. There is no perfect dog or person there are only perfect partnerships 💜💜💜

2/Our dogs are very clever however we can’t sit them in front of a projector to discuss human disabilities & how this impacts their mobility. Each of our assistance dogs are prepared as much as possible prior to placement (over a 2 year period) however learning is ongoing.

1/ Another chance to hear about becoming a volunteer Puppy Socialiser from one of our repeat Socialisers Marty Guilfoyle. This is such an integral role in our charity as without we simply couldn’t gift our life-changing dogs to those who need them most💜.
