Veterans With Dogs

We're proud to have teamed up with Devon-based charity Veterans With Dogs, who share our belief that mental health and wellbeing can be improved by the companionship of a dog

Having the continued support of Forthglade enables us to invest in training much-needed assistance dogs, which in turn helps transform the lives of Veterans suffering from mental health issues, following their time in the Armed Forces

How We're Supporting Veterans With Dogs

Helping support positive mental health

Funding two hero dogs Devon & Buddy

Meet hero pups Devon & Buddy

Elmo is a sweet natured puppy, with a calm and easy-going personality. He was carefully selected to embark on his journey to become an assistance dog for a veteran with a mental health condition.  Elmo is currently living with his specially trained puppy socialiser who is tasked with teaching him all the important things pups need to know alongside the additional training he will undertake for his very important role.  

 

Helping Transform Lives

Veterans With Dogs is dedicated to providing highly trained dogs to both current and former members of the British Armed Forces, who are suffering from service-related mental health conditions such as PTSD. Founded by Craig MacLellan, Veterans With Dogs is the UK’s only charity of its kind. MacLellan himself suffered the devastating effects of a mental health condition for many years following his time in the Forces but found huge support from his own assistance dog.
