THE life-changing charity Dogs For The Disabled has just celebrated the first anniversary of the opening of its north west base and it has already expanded its service into Trafford.
Through practical assistance a specially trained dog can offer freedom and independence to children and adults with physical disabilities and children with autism.
Dogs for the Disabled also runs its PAWS workshops in the North West, designed to help the parents and carers of children with autism explore how a well trained family pet dog can have a massively beneficial impact. Anyone interested in finding out more should visit paws.dogsforthedisabled.org
