We are Canine Partners.

We breed, train, and support expert assistance dogs to create loving, life-changing partnerships with disabled people.

Across the UK, we support people with a variety of physical disabilities and their families, carefully matching them with a dog that suits their needs, personality, and lifestyle.

Our dogs bring confidence and independence, love and companionship, reducing reliance on carers and giving people the freedom to live life their own way.

Fund a lifeline for a lifetime

Many people don’t realise that Canine Partners’ support doesn’t end when a partnership is created. It lasts a lifetime.

It costs around £10,000 to support a single partnership from placement course through to retirement. Right now, around 250 partnerships across the UK rely on this lifetime of support, with 35 more being created this year.

With your help, we can provide a lifetime of support for partnerships like Sam and Hank, ensuring that our life-changing support is there for years to come, for the people who need it most.
