Sponsor a puppy, and give the ultimate gift of true companionship

 
 

For children and adults that do not require the assistance of a dog to access public places we will provide a Companion Dog service. These dogs are highly trained and have had up to 4 months intensive training but are not certified service dogs and therefore do not wear service dog jacket.

These dogs DO NOT have public access

They can however

  • Provide companionship in an often-isolated world

  • Improve physical and mental health in people with disabilities

  • Increase responsibility and confidence through the day-to-day care of the dog

  • Provide opportunities for social interaction


We can provide Companion dogs to children and young adults living with Autism. A Companion dog will provide companionship and can greatly improve the quality of life for the child or young adult and family. They provide unconditional love and affection to their partner.

A companion dog is usually a dog trained to a similar  standard as a Service dog but, who for one reason or other has failed to make the Service dog grade.

Please note that companion dogs do not have the same access rights as our Service dogs.

It is the hope that the dog will become a best friend, confidant and playmate for a child who almost always has few friends outside the immediate family circle.
