Canine Partners, a nonprofit organization in Great Britain, trains dogs to assist people with disabilities. On June 2, 2009, they will be opening their new National Training Center in Heyshott, West Sussex, with the help of Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
“These marvellous new facilities are a welcome and much needed addition to the work of Canine Partners,” said Lady Thatcher. “As a result, many more people with disabilities will receive a specially trained companion to help them overcome the difficulties of everyday life, and I am delighted to be able to support everything that this wonderful charity does.”
Canine Partners has placed over 140 dogs throughout the United Kingdom since 1991.
