Support Dogs is a pioneering national charity based in Sheffield dedicated to providing life-saving and lifechanging health and social care for children and adults living with challenging medical conditions. We train specialist assistance dogs to achieve this.
We run three programmes: autism assistance dogs for children, disability assistance dogs for adults including our home care dogs and seizure alert dogs for people with epilepsy, we are the only organisation in the UK that trains dogs to do this specialist work.   From keeping children calm and safe, to alerting their owners prior to an oncoming epileptic seizure, from raising the alarm in emergencies to helping open doors and helping to get dressed in the morning, our support dogs transform the lives of their families.
