Hounds for Heroes

A huge good luck to the North Team at Elanco Animal Health, who will be taking on a 13-mile walk along Hadrian’s Wall tomorrow! 👏

Their walk will also help kick-start the fundraising for their colleagues’ 50-mile Mercy Dog Challenge this November. What a team effort!

We’re so grateful to everyone at Elanco for getting behind Hounds for Heroes. We’ll be cheering you on every step of the way! 💙🐾

To know that Di has chosen to remember Hounds for Heroes in her Will is incredibly moving. For Remember A Charity Week, she is sharing in her own words why she made that decision.

Di, thank you for everything you do for our Hounds today, and for thinking of the partnerships still to come. We feel very lucky to have you with us. 🐾

If Di’s story has got you thinking, you can find out more about leaving a gift in your Will here: https://www.houndsforheroes.com/support-us/leave-legacy

A big thank you to Tesco Petersfield for donating this fantastic movie hamper to Hounds for Heroes! 💙

Chelsea has already started her movie-night shortlist: Air Bud, Homeward Bound or 101 Dalmatians. Unsurprisingly, Air Bud is the early favourite… 🎬🐾

Having the support of businesses in our local community means so much to us. Donations like this give our fundraising a real boost when we’re out and about at local events, helping us raise vital funds for our Hounds and their partnerships.

We’re so grateful to the team at Tesco Petersfield! It certainly has Chelsea’s paw of approval. 🐾

Minnie has no idea that today is International Day of Charity. To be fair, she has no idea what an international day is. 😂

What she does know is that people keep showing up.

They welcome our dogs into their homes, guide them through new experiences and support every stage of training with patience, skill and care.

Beyond those familiar faces are people our dogs may never meet: volunteers giving their time, fundraisers taking on challenges, donors and sponsors backing their training, and supporters spreading the word.

Each one plays a part in making an Assistance Dog partnership possible.

Our dogs may not know all the people behind them. They just know that someone is always there for them.

Today, we want to thank every one of you who keeps showing up. Our partnerships are possible because you do. 💙🐾

A very important puppy update from Jack…
He has officially mastered nap time. The tongue is all part of the technique. 😂💙🐾

Look at that face. This is where Jack’s journey began. 🐾

From these tiny beginnings, Jack is already growing into a Hounds for Heroes Assistance Dog, learning the skills that will empower his future Partner to live life the way they choose.

Some puppy joy for your Bank Holiday, courtesy of Hope and Jack! 💙🐾

We think it’s safe to say their play date in the training paddock was a success…

Our now not-so-little Scramble is doing his best to bring the sunshine this bank holiday weekend. ☀️🐾

Fingers and paws crossed it works! 😅💙
