Our Supporters
Dogs for the Disabled are honoured to work with our amazing supporters. With their generosity, we can continue to provide highly trained, life changing Assistance Dogs to adults and children with physical disabilities to create a world with fewer limits.
From Corporate Benefactors to our teams of volunteers nationwide who selflessly offer their time, effort and love raising our puppies, to volunteers holding local fundraisers all year round.
Each of our highly trained dogs costs €15k each to ethically breed, raise, train and care for over their entire lifetime and are gifted to their partners at NO COST, thanks to the generosity of our wonderful donors.
Thank You!
We are very proud to have Ireland captain and Munster Rugby player Peter O’Mahony as our Patron.
“I’ve always had a passion for dogs and I’m delighted to now be involved with such a hardworking group of people and see the difference their dogs make in people’s lives”
PETER O’MAHONY, IRELAND CAPTAIN and MUNSTER RUGBY PLAYER.

The Ireland Funds
We are extremely grateful to the Ireland Funds who have given us key support since 2011 when the charity was at a crisis point in terms of funding.
With chapters in 12 countries, The Ireland Funds has raised over $600 million for deserving causes in Ireland and beyond, benefiting more than 3,200 different organisations.
Without their guidance and support, we would not be in the strong position we are in today!

We are extremely grateful to Mr McManus for fully funding two Assistance Dogs for children from Limerick.
