Providing care dogs to the whole community throughout England and Wales, bringing joy and reassurance to the elderly, vulnerable, and others who benefit from their services.

They are a charitable organisation providing care dogs across England and Wales, dedicated to bringing joy and reassurance to the elderly, vulnerable, and others who benefit from their services. Their trained volunteer owners and care dogs visit diverse locations, offering vital support. From care homes alleviating loneliness among the elderly, to hospitals aiding patients’ mental health and recovery, and offices reducing stress levels, their visits have a profound impact. They extend their services to secure units, including prisons, promoting connection and normalcy.

Schools benefit through their acclaimed Read to Dogs programme, recognised by The Kennel Club for its effectiveness. Opportunities abound to get involved: join as a Canine Concern care dog volunteer, donate, support their cause, or book a care dog visit to contribute to their mission.
