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.

Could you become a Dog Breeding Volunteer?

We urgently need Dog Breeding Volunteers to care for Canine Partners Mums and their litters in your own home. You’ll provide loving, temporary care until puppies begin training at around eight weeks, while mums stay part of your family. If you’re in the Midlands, South Yorkshire, or Bedfordshire, we’ll provide training and support, and cover all costs. Join us and help change lives today.
