We are Canine Partners.

We breed, train, and support expert assistance dogs to create loving, life-changing partnerships with disabled people.

Across the UK, we support people with a variety of physical disabilities and their families, carefully matching them with a dog that suits their needs, personality, and lifestyle.

Our dogs bring confidence and independence, love and companionship, reducing reliance on carers and giving people the freedom to live life their own way.

Volunteers' Week

This Volunteers’ Week, we’re celebrating our wonderful volunteers – our purple people – for everything they do.

Our loving, life-changing partnerships wouldn’t be possible without our dedicated volunteers, who give up their time to raise our puppies, train our dogs, and fundraise for us.

Help make a real difference to the lives of disabled people across the UK by becoming a volunteer today.
