Change a Life by Adopting a Puppy for Just £1 a Week!
Canine Partners (Registered Charity No. 803680), who provide specially trained assistance dogs to people with disabilities, is asking those who like to give to charity to consider its regular giving programme. Rather than donate a one off amount per year, the Adopt a Puppy Campaign allows you to give just £1 a week - whilst helping to train a puppy to change the life of a person with disabilities.
Supported by Purina PetCare, Adopt a Puppy is a demonstration of how giving a little can go such a long way. Ideal as a gift or for yourself, those signing up to Adopt a Puppy will be kept updated on how their adopted puppy is progressing through the training programme. You or your gift recipient will receive an introduction letter, personal adoption certificate, glossy photos and a soft toy puppy.
Purina first chose Canine Partners as their Corporate Charity in 2000. The partnerships the charity enables revolutionise peoples’ lives – physically and psychologically – and demonstrate just how powerful a relationship with a pet can be. This is why Purina is proud to help facilitate this bond by providing all the food for puppies in training, to give them the best start in life, as well as helping to drive forward campaigns that raise awareness of the charity, such as Adopt a Puppy.
One such person benefiting from a Canine Partner is Andrew Fields (39), who broke his neck in a motorcycle accident in 2001. “We have now settled into our partnership and I cannot imagine what it would be like not to have Emily - she is my shadow. She picks things up for me, particularly my keys and my stick; she opens the door for me when asked politely. She has made a huge difference to my life and our family’s happiness - we are a team. When we are not together it somehow does not feel right.”
Isabel Campbell, Director of Fundraising and Marketing at Canine Partners comments, “With the words credit crunch on everyone’s lips, we see the Adopt a Puppy Campaign as a way to let people give to charity at an affordable rate. We have 130 active partnerships across the country, with at least 300 people with disabilities waiting to be partnered with one of our highly skilled dogs. In order to continue training future Canine Partners, we need your help by considering Adopt a Puppy for yourself or as a gift.”

About Canine Partners:
Officially launched in 1990, Canine Partners enables people with disabilities to enjoy greater independence and a better quality of life through the help of specially trained dogs.
Training assistance dogs to transform the lives of people with severe physical disabilities (many of whom are in wheelchairs) enriches human life in practical ways such as dressing and undressing, supermarket shopping and vital emergency response procedures. In addition it provides physiological, psychological and social benefits that help keep people healthy and happy.
As a registered charity Canine Partners receives no government funding and is wholly dependent on public donations and legacies.
For further information on fundraising, donations, volunteering or applying for a Canine Partner, please call 08456 580480 or visit www.caninepartners.co.uk.
