Dogs for Good is a UK-based charity training dogs to help adults and children with physical disabilities and learning disabilities, children with autism and adults with dementia.[1] Until October 2015 it was called Dogs for the Disabled.

History

The charity was founded in 1988 by Frances Hay (1950–90) in Kenilworth, Warwickshire. This was as a result of Frances' personal experience with her own pet dog helping Frances overcome her own disability.

In 2000 a successful application to the National Lottery resulted in the building of a national training centre in Banbury, Oxfordshire where the charity is based today.
