Aims:
To transform the lives of people with disabilities, enabling them to lead more independent lives, by providing them with highly trained assistance dogs.
Services provided:
Canine Partners are trained in a variety of emergency responses and are ‘on standby’ all the time, ready to assist whenever needed. They will activate an alarm, fetch the mobile phone and go for help if required. A Canine Partner can respond to around one hundred commands, including opening and shutting doors, switching lights on and off and drawing the curtains. All this can bring confidence to a Partner and peace of mind to their family or friends. A Canine Partner has the ability to make the difference between reliance on a carer and independence.
People aged eighteen years or over who have a disability that causes difficulty with walking and limits the use of their hands and arms, can apply for a Canine Partner.
