Sponsor Kenny today and help him save a life

Hi, I’m Kenny. I’m an confident and playful puppy and with your help, I can become a life-saving Medical Detection Dog.

Breed: Labrador

Gender: Male

Colour: Black

Likes: Playing with toys and investigating my amazing new home

Dislikes: Not being able to go out and about just yet!

Kenny is the latest addition to the team and we are delighted to have him on board. We have a good number of Labradors already training with us and we expect Kenny will follow in their pawsteps. We’re certain he will quickly pick up some of the skills he will need whilst still enjoying being a puppy and discovering the world around him. His trainer, Caitlin, will soon start to teach Kenny all the life skills he will need to become a Medical Detection Dog. In just a few weeks, she will begin taking Kenny out and about to new environments, to socialise him with other dogs, as well as people, and to get him used to all the sights, smells and noises that the world has to offer.

Kenny is settling in to his new life already. As you can see from the short video clip, he was very happy to have a quick run at The Centre before heading off to his new home where he’ll soon become one of the family. His socialisers are really looking forward to having him around the home, particularly as Kenny is the first dog they are socialising for us. With the support of Caitlin, we are sure that his early socialisation and training will go very well indeed.

We are very happy to welcome another Labrador to the team. Clients in need of one of our dogs have a wide range of personal circumstances but Labradors have the ideal temperament and characteristics to suit most people. This, alongside his intelligence and abilities will mean Kenny will become an excellent member of the Medical Detection Dogs family. Good luck, Kenny!

The difference a sponsor puppy can make

Elizabeth’s journey with PoTS has been a rocky one to say the least. She only appeared to have black out episodes whilst doing judo and used to get some kind of warning beforehand. As time passed she began to feel more unwell in day to day life; was always extremely tired and dizzy, ached constantly, and had frequent heart palpitations and chest pain. Her black outs also started happening more and more frequently without warning, and whilst doing daily activities, such as school, shopping or watching TV. Elizabeth also had a fair few bad injures and concussions from dropping suddenly. Henry and Elizabeth were partnered up and ready to give it a whirl in the real world. Elizabeth was blown away how much more relaxed, calm and safe her episodes were. Henry would alert, she’d sit down, and everything would run its course smoothly; no injuries or drama. With time his alerting became really strong and he hardly missed any episodes! Henry has allowed Elizabeth to take her independence back and start living! He’s her wet nosed knight in shining armour and she couldn’t be more grateful to him.
