As a puppy parent for Canine Partners I found this interview amazingly informative. Thanks to Stephen we hope that we can all get back to ‘normal’ and carry on our work to train pups for people with disabilities. Thank you so much!
As an Advanced Training fosterer and Volunteer Foster Coordinator, I can tell you from personal experience this is a great Charity to support. Be part of #amazingdogs #transforminglives
I have fostered dogs in training for this amazing charity for the past 12 years and have recently rehomed a retired Canine Partner who has given me such wonderful companionship and unconditional love, helping me to get through a very difficult time in my life.
Please support the invaluable work these dogs do to change disabled people’s lives.
