As a sponsor, you will gain a unique insight into your puppy’s development and training.
Once your puppy graduates, your sponsorship will transfer on to a new puppy, or you can sponsor a dog all the way through its life from puppyhood to graduation.
Choose your puppy…
Why Do We Need Your Support?
Our services provide an intensive level of support tailored to each autistic individual’s needs; for the majority this provides a lifeline where no comparable help is available.
We currently have 30 assistance dogs in the UK that are either working or in training, but we receive over a thousand enquiries each year from people interested in applying. The only limit to how many dogs we can train and place with families is financial, and once we have more funds in place, we will be able to train more dogs to support more autistic people.
When the puppy’s training journey ends and he or she is matched with their autistic partner, we transfer your sponsorship automatically to a new puppy. You can of course choose not to follow your new puppy and cancel your regular donation if you wish. If you paid as a one-off, we ask if you’d like to sponsor another puppy. We do this with an email just after your final update.
It’s a very exciting time, celebrating the success of one puppy and the training journey starting for another!
When you sponsor one of our gorgeous pups, you will get your very own puppy pack including:
Please note additional costs will be incurred for postage outside the UK.
A Sponsor a Puppy pack makes an ideal gift for both adults and children, just let us know whether the pack will be for you, or for a friend or family member.
Why sponsor a puppy with Dogs for Autism?
Not only will you receive our puppy pack and regular ‘pupdates’, you will also be supporting the training of one of our life-changing puppies for the first eighteen months.
Many autistic people struggle with communication skills, anxiety and isolation. For these people, a Dogs for Autism assistance dog can change their lives; would you like to be part of this journey by sponsoring a puppy?
