The National Foundation for Retired Service Animals is a registered charity (1200949) supporting retired dogs and horses from the police, fire, prison and border force services by helping with medical and veterinary bills, which inevitably occur as they get older.

When serving police/fire/prison/border force dogs and horses careers end, the financial support they received whilst working, including food, kennels or stables, medical and veterinary requirements, training and equipment also comes to an end.

Unfortunately, meaningful insurance is almost impossible to obtain due to their age and training, and even if available, the premiums insurance companies charge for retired animals is incredibly high. This is obviously a serious worry for handlers who have their own financial obligations, and medical bills can be a real challenge.  However, we are there to help!  

Come and meet the team and learn more about these amazing animals that have spent their lives protecting us.
