YOUR GENEROSITY ENABLES US TO SUPPORT HEROIC SERVING AND RETIRED POLICE DOGS ACROSS THE UNITED KINGDOM

We don’t receive any Government funding and rely solely on the generosity of the public and our corporate partners to support our work with heroic serving and retired police dogs.

When a police dog retires in the United Kingdom, they are not afforded a pension by the Government. After years of loyal and heroic service, this means the cost of veterinary care and rehabilitation falls solely to their former handler or the member of the public who has offered them a home. Due to their working lives, many have ongoing health issues that require intensive treatment or monthly medication which can prove costly.

From running a marathon, hosting a cake sale, leaving a legacy in your will, or making us your company’s chosen charity; there are many ways you can get involved and support our work, helping serving and retired police dogs when they are in need.

We truly appreciate your support, and anything you can do to help us is greatly appreciated. If you need it, our registered charity number is: 1190959.

Leave a legacy in your will
