is your retired police dog in need? we provide support to retired police dogs across the united kingdom

Our charitable foundation welcomes applications for financial assistance from owners of retired police dogs who have an active membership with the foundation.

We kindly ask that you speak to your treatment provider and ask for a charity discount on any treatment or medication that your retired police dog needs.

If they require proof that your retired police dog is supported by our charitable foundation, please contact us and our team can provide a bespoke letter of authentication for you.

Financial assistance applications are assessed, and grants are awarded based on available charity funds. While our aim will always be to cover the cost of treatment in full, there may be times when we provide only a percentage contribution towards the costs.

As owners of a retired police dog, you are ultimately responsible for covering the costs associated with the veterinary and rehabilitation treatment of your retired police dog, were here to support you by easing that pressure.
