Dogs for the Disabled is a national charity which trains specially selected dogs to carry out a range of practical, everyday tasks in order to assist their disabled owner.  Recently the charity has launched a pioneering new service partnering assistance dogs with autistic children and their families. The Kennel Club Charitable Trust has supported Dogs for the Disabled over a number of years, most recently with a £14,300 donation in support of the “Autism Project.” Past donations from the Trust have enabled the charity to purchase and socialise four pups throughout their first year of life, as well as providing funding for equipment for their new Training and Welfare centre.
