Why Sponsor a Puppy?

Imagine if everyday tasks were so challenging or physically demanding they affected your quality of life. For many people living with a disability or families with a child with autism in the UK today, that is their reality. A quarter of disabled people say they do not frequently have choice and control over their daily lives; when to get dressed, when to go out, when to do the everyday things that we all take for granted. Parents with an autistic child have been proven to have stress levels comparable to soldiers in armed combat.

Now imagine if this adorable puppy could become a specially trained four-legged friend to restore your, or your family’s, independence.

How your contribution will help

We currently have about 300 working assistance dogs, but in 2019 we received 7,000 assistance dog enquiries and almost 1,000 enquiries about our Family Dog service.

  • Extend our services to more areas
