Apply for an assistance dog

Our Heroes are those who have served or continue to serve in HM Armed Forces or the Emergency Services and have developed a physical disability through illness or injury, during or after their service.

Our Hounds are specially trained Assistance Dogs that empower these Heroes to live life on their own terms, embracing greater freedom, confidence, always with a loyal partner by their side.

We’re here to support you every step of the way. If you think an assistance dog could make a difference in your life, don’t wait, apply today and take the next step towards greater independence.
