Dogs for Good

Dogs for Good is a charity that brings people and dogs together to make life possible for the people they work with. They enable dogs to help people affected by disability, dementia, autism, and other conditions to live happier, healthier, more independent lives. We all know how good dogs are for us and the difference they can make to our lives but Dogs for Good dogs really do open doors, connect people and keep families together.

At 16, Zoe was diagnosed with a lifelong degenerative condition and felt that the walls were closing in on her. Dogs for Good matched Zoe with yellow Labrador, Sheila, and the help she brings has been transformative for Zoe.

When autism assistance dog Caddie joined Joel’s family, no-one could foresee how he’d help change Joel’s life. “I never thought that my son would be able to finish school but now he’s going to college. It wouldn’t have happened without Caddie,” says mum Janet.

Freedom and a life, reclaimed
