Founded and based in Sheffield, Support Dogs is a national, innovative charity working to save and improve the lives of children and adults affected by some of the most challenging medical conditions. The charity trains, provide and supports specialist assistance dogs to achieve this.

The charity specialise in three specific programmes:

Autism assistance dogs for children with autism. The dogs are trained to provide safety for the child and reduce stress in social environments.
Epilepsy seizure alert dogs. Our dogs are trained to provide a 100% reliable, up to 50 minute warning prior to the onset of an epileptic seizure. This enables the client to find safety and be in control over their seizure, allowing a much more independent life.
Disability assistance dogs for people with physical disabilities. The client’s own pet dog is trained to perform tasks which are specifically tailored to their individual needs, providing them with greater independence and safety. The charity supports individuals with a wide range conditions including MS, Cerebral Palsy & Fibromyalgia.

It takes two years to train a young pup to become a life changing support dog. Sheffield United are following a little pup named Blade on his journey to become a support dog. The charity relies 100% on voluntary donations and provides its services entirely free of charge to families in need of its services.
