Hounds for Heroes – Supporting the Armed Forces with Life-Changing
Assistance Dogs
Every day, members of the UK Armed Forces and Emergency Services
dedicate themselves to protecting others. At Hounds for Heroes, we believe that
when illness or injury makes daily life more difficult for those who’ve served,
they deserve steadfast support and a highly trained partner to help them on
their journey.
We provide specially trained assistance dogs to those who have served in HM Armed Forces, no matter where, when, or for how long. Whether you served for days, weeks, months or years, you may be eligible. We also support those from the Emergency Services, including the Police, Fire, Ambulance, Coastguard and RNLI.
Our dogs are far more than companions. They are working dogs
trained to assist with everyday tasks like opening doors, retrieving dropped
items and building confidence in public settings. Just as importantly, they
offer loyal companionship and emotional reassurance.
Each dog is carefully matched to their Partner based on individual
needs, ensuring a truly life-changing relationship that supports both practical
challenges and emotional wellbeing.
Who We Help
We welcome applications from anyone who:
- Is a
current or former member of HM Armed Forces or Emergency Services (Police,
Fire, Ambulance, Coastguard or RNLI)
- Is
living with a physical disability caused by illness or injury
(this does not need to be directly related to your time in service)
We support a wide range of conditions that affect mobility and
independence, including:
- Spinal
injuries
- Limb
loss or amputation
- Stroke
recovery
- Neurological
conditions such as Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis
- Serious
illness or injury with lasting physical impact
We understand that the road to recovery and independence can be
tough and the last thing we want is for cost to be a barrier. Where needed,
Hounds for Heroes can cover the full working life of an assistance dog,
including training, equipment, insurance and ongoing support. Each situation is
assessed individually and we aim to remove as many barriers as possible.
If you or someone you support could benefit from an assistance
dog, we’d love to hear from you. Welfare officers, medical staff and support
teams are encouraged to signpost eligible individuals our way. We're here to
help.
