Situation
Help us today by sponsoring the cost of training a dog over 18 months, from puppy to fully fledged Canine Partner. On completion of the dog's training he or she will tranform someone's life, and the life of their family. A ‘Canine Partner’ assistance dog is life transforming for people with disabilities, providing practical, physiological, psychological and social benefits that help keep people happy and healthy. These benefits include: • Assistance with everyday tasks • Increased independence, confidence, motivation and self-esteem • Sense of responsibility for the welfare of their canine partner • Companionship and a sense of security • Reduces the need for carers and reduces social welfare costs to the NHS • Provides a catalyst for conversation, increasing social interaction • Therapeutic benefits of the human-animal bond Each dog costs £10,000 to train. In return for your generosity, we can offer you regular updates on your puppy’s training along with photos, an invite to the dog’s official graduation ceremony with their human Partner and a framed photo of the partnership. We will also keep you in touch with how the partnership progresses. We will endeavour to arrange for you to meet the puppy during training, however as the majority of our puppies are now trained at one of our puppy training satellites around the UK this may need a little to time to arrange the logistics. Can you help us transform someone's life?
