Who we are

Canine Partners is a registered charity that transforms the lives of people with physical disabilities by partnering them with assistance dogs.

What we do

Our amazing dogs bring a greater independence and quality of life to their partners, offering security, companionship, and practical help with everyday household tasks.  This can be anything from fetching the newspaper, to helping someone get out of bed and dressed in the morning and even paying for their shopping.

Our assistance dogs are trained to meet the needs of individuals with even the most complex physical disabilities. We currently help adults aged 18 and over (both civilians and former service personnel) who have a physical disability or condition that affects their daily life and limits their independence.

Why we need you

We receive no government funding and rely solely on donations from the public and legacies to help us continue our life-transforming work.

Since we began in 1990 we have created hundreds of partnerships, and your generous donations help us to keep providing assistance dogs to those who will benefit from their everyday support.

We have lots of very deserving people on our waiting list, who want a canine partner to help them regain their independence, but we can only help them with your support.
