Donate to change a life

"Howard's presence has been nothing short of transformative"  These are the words of dad Ian about the extraordinary difference that support dog Howard has made to the life of his autistic daughter Piper and their family.

Support Dogs save lives, they change lives, they bring hope and independence. Everything we do is funded entirely by voluntary donation. We are facing an overwhelming demand for our services and are asking for your help. Your donation can help us to continue our vital work transforming the lives of children and adults affected by autism, epilepsy, and disability.
