Applications for Autism Assistance Dog Foundation Programme Closing Soon

Applications for our Spring intake of the Foundation Programme will be closing in 10 days! Be sure to submit yours by Friday, 2 May. We can’t wait to welcome you.

This is a supportive, home-based route where families raise their future autism assistance dog with help from our team while your puppy provided by Autism Dogs Charity lives at home and becomes part of everyday life. Families receive structured support, including a delivery pack, monthly check-ins, welfare visits and clear training milestones.

The programme is designed for families who want to build a bond with their dog from the beginning, supported at every step by experienced professionals.

Spaces are limited and currently available within our catchment areas:

• ‍‍in the North of England, including Cheshire and Greater Manchester,
• the South of England, including London, Berkshire and Kent,
• the East of England, including Lincolnshire.

‍Important: This programme is not open to families wishing to train a dog they already own. All puppies are sourced and matched by our team to give each partnership the best possible start.
