About us
Support Dogs is a national charity dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children and adults with various challenging medical conditions. We provide, train and support specialist assistance dogs to achieve this. We specialise in three specific programmes: Seizure Alert Programme Epilepsy is the most common neurological illness with more than 600,000 cases in the UK. We train epilepsy seizure alert dogs to provide a 100% reliable warning up to an hour in advance of an epileptic seizure, providing safety and independence. We are the only charity in the UK providing this service. Autism Assistance Programme Autism assistance dogs are trained to provide safety and to facilitate a more independent and socially inclusive life for both the autistic child and their family. Disability Assistance Programme The client’s own pet dog is trained to perform tasks which are specifically tailored to their individual needs, providing them with greater independence and safety. Champions of the second chance As well as our puppies, 1 in 4 of the dogs we train come to us from rescue centres, or as unwanted pets. We are champions for dogs who need a second chance.

📣 We want to hear the experiences of people who have epilepsy, but also live with a pet dog 🐾 Support Dogs are working with Epilepsy Action to run what we believe is the first ever national survey of dog-ownership amongst people living with epilepsy. The aim is to better understand the impact having a dog – both negative and positive – can have on a person that has the condition, and on the welfare of the dogs. 💬 Ann Richardson-Greaves, Director of Services at Epilepsy Action said “We’re thrilled to be teaming up with Support Dogs to launch a groundbreaking survey aimed at better understanding the impact of epilepsy on dog owners. The initiative dives into the unique experience of those who live with epilepsy and share their lives with a dog” 🔗To take part in the survey please visit https://lnkd.in/eUeVHsN8
