This incredible donation is set to fund the entire journey of three new puppies and their veteran partnerships, covering everything from the initial purchase of the puppies, to their training, qualification, and beyond. It's a comprehensive support system that not only ensures the wellbeing of these special dogs but also secures a future of hope and independence for the veterans they will serve.

The Mission of Forces Support

Forces Support have been a pillar of strength for families affected by the loss of service personnel since March 2010. With a nationwide network of retail outlets, they've provided unwavering support to those left behind, ensuring access to practical assistance across the UK. Their dedication to the welfare of military families mirrors our own commitment to enhancing the lives of veterans, making this partnership a perfect match. 

A Shared Vision

Carol Reynolds, CEO of Forces Support, expressed her enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "We are absolutely delighted to help fund the wonderful work carried out by Veterans With Dogs. Their mission is extremely close to our hearts, and we're excited to see the positive changes they will continue to make in the future."

Echoing this sentiment, Craig MacLellan, CEO of Veterans With Dogs, shared, "We are immensely grateful for this generous donation, which will be life-changing for three veterans and their families. Our work is crucial, as the demand for assistance dogs remains high. Support from organisations like Forces Support is invaluable to us."

The Lifesaving Work of Veterans With Dogs

At Veterans With Dogs, we're dedicated to training and providing assistance dogs to members of the British Armed Forces with service-related mental health conditions. Through our unique PALS (Partner Animals Life Skills) training programme, we create unbreakable bonds between veterans and their dogs, offering 24/7 support, 365 days a year. These dogs do more than just assist; they save lives, offering companionship, love, and a newfound sense of freedom to their human partners.
