Sponsor a Dog

Chewie, a Pudelpointer, served with the UK Border Force in Hull Port as a Detection Dog, before he retired to his new family in 2021. He is an absolute gent and an integral part of his devoted pack, and he was one of the first retired service animals to join the NFRSA family - we have been there for him ever since! Chewie suffers from quite a bit of arthritis, as well as a few allergies, and he needs medication as well as regular hydrotherapy and acupuncture to keep the symptoms at bay. We love Chewie, and his antics make us laugh, not just from amusement, but the fact his medications mean he is living his best life, pain free and with joy. If you would like to help us to support Chewie with his treatments and his therapy, simply click the ‘Sponsor Chewie’ button and you will receive regular updates about our work, as well as Chewie’s adventures over the year and a special message at Christmas! Who can resist that face...

Hektor served with Police Service of Northern Ireland for 7 Years, he was the best partner his handler could have had on patrol, as he loved his public order duties. His claim to fame was when he was standing on a line with both the TSG and water cannons during the riots in Belfast in 2021, making the front page of most newspapers with his cheeky face! Hektor has saved many lives throughout his career, once tracking with his handler to a young male who was hanging, allowing him valuable seconds to cut him down and save his life. His excited howls as his handler opened the boot had one criminal walk out from behind a house to surrender before he had even opened the hatch – this was typical of Hektor, he was a fierce protector and the best boy. He now enjoys his retirement at home with his handler surrounded by hens, cats, and horses. Hektor loves walks in the local forest, but his favourite place would have to be the beautiful beaches on the north coast of Northern Ireland. Hektor suffers with serious allergies, requiring monthly medication to ease his symptons. Would you like to sponsor this stunning lad?
