Become a Puppy Partner
Support a puppy, help change lives.
Right now, millions of people in the UK are finding the world around them to be inaccessible or unsupportive of their needs. Your support could help train the puppy that transforms someone's world.
What is a Puppy Partner?
A Puppy Partner financially supports one of our puppies as they train to become a dog that helps make life possible. Starting from their first year of development, your support could be with them all the way until they retire. Whether it’s yourself, your business or your community, become a Puppy Partner today and be a part of changing someone’s life for the better.
Sounds great - what’s involved?
You’ll get regular puppy updates…pupdates (who doesn’t want that email?), a chance to name and even meet your puppy – depending on your level of commitment.
You’ll follow their incredible journey from early socialisation to initial training, advanced development and finally to starting their life-changing roles. Your puppy will go on to form incredible connections with the people we work with, whether being matched as a highly skilled assistance dog or supporting people in their community to help build their confidence and skills or increase connection, they'll be making life-changing differences every step of the way.
Puppy Partners for organisations
Being a Puppy Partner is more than just a charity partnership, it’s a meaningful way to boost morale and motivation. Nothing unites a team like sharing the joy of seeing the puppy you’ve partnered with grow up to change lives. Plus, you’ll also get plenty of wholesome puppy content for your socials.

At RSSL, our purpose is to transform lives through science, innovation and collaboration and our partnership with Dogs for Good reflects that is a truly special way. Since 2018, we have proudly sponsored three dogs and have taken great pride in their journeys. The fact that they can go on to help a child with autism and their family, an adult with disabilities or children with special educational needs, is truly heart-warming.
Ready to change a life?
Too many people in the UK face a world not built for their needs. Every puppy we train helps open up someone’s world, build their confidence and live fuller, more independent lives.
But the demand is overwhelming and it takes significant investment to train each and every dog. Puppy Partners are vital in helping us provide this life-changing service.
