Every single pound that Hounds for Heroes receives makes a huge impact on our ability to train, partner and support our life-enhancing dogs.
We need your donations to prepare our dogs to live and work beside those who have been injured and disabled serving the people of this country.
Hounds for Heroes does not receive any Government funding. We rely entirely on the generosity of the public whose donations and support enable us to deliver our mission.
