Barking Mad Milton Keynes gives a helping ‘paw’ for our nominated charity ‘Dogs for Good’

Barking Mad Milton Keynes supporting life changing charity ‘Dogs For Good’

I was delighted to be asked if I could volunteer (together with fellow franchisees) for Barking Mad’s chosen charity ‘Dogs for Good’ at the recent Camping and Caravan show which was held at the NEC in Birmingham.

I am very proud to be associated with this charity, meeting such a dedicated team who are based in Banbury, Oxfordshire and their beautiful intelligent dogs who are making life changing transformations to both children and adults who suffer from autism and physical disabilities.

Seeing these dogs demonstrate in the Arena at the show was incredible.  They showed off their skills such as picking up dropped items, fetching the phone, loading and unloading the washing machine, pressing the road crossing button, help dress & undress and how to distract an anxious child.

Working in partnership with ‘Dogs For Good’ is truly a pleasure.  So far Barking Mad has raised enough donations to be able to purchase 2 puppies, Prince and Wendy.  With ongoing support, we are hoping to be able to double that by end of 2019.  If you would like to make a donation to this life changing charity, please click on the below link:

I felt totally privileged to be invited along to Dogs For Good HQ in Banbury to meet up with the fantastic staff, clients, and of course the incredible dogs which are trained to be an assistant dog to people with a range of needs; providing life transforming support for both adults and children.  I got the opportunity to speak with Danielle (and fuss from Watson), where she expressed how Watson had transformed her life from picking up the smallest object to having the confidence to get out and about.

Dogs for Good is the chosen charity for Barking Mad in 2018 where we hope to raise enough funds to purchase and train 5 puppies which takes around 2 years to train each dog.

It was totally awe inspiring to see the dedication of the staff together with the bond between client and their Dogs For Good dogs.  I look forward to the year ahead in support for Dogs For Good.
