Meet Marley, the first Witness Support Dog in training!

Marley is hard at work at the moment, going through training and being spoilt rotten with cuddles. He'll likely be in training for another year at least - stay with us on his journey to becoming a fully fledged Witness Support Dog! 🐾

A group of 6 LCC K9 comfort dogs arrived in Minneapolis yesterday in the wake of the latest mass shooting. The organization deploys comfort dogs following tragic events. The dogs wore their "please pet me vests," offering love and comfort to those processing this heartbreaking tragedy. 15/10 for all

Cultivating compassion in the criminal justice system 🐾

Witness Support Dogs CIC is a UK-based organisation dedicated to supporting witnesses through training facility dogs. We can't wait to share with you the work we have done - watch this space for some paw-some content (and terrible puns).
What is a facility dog? A facility dog is essentially an assistance dog who works for an organisation. They undergo rigorous training, normally to Assistance Dogs International (ADI) standards - the same standards as Guide Dogs. Facility dogs work in all kinds of settings, including schools, hospitals, care homes, courts, police stations, children's centres, and more.
