Essex Retired Police Dogs Fund
A Retired Police Dog Charity
Welcome to the Essex Retired Police Dogs Fund,
a retired police dog charity providing financial help towards
veterinary and welfare costs for retired police dogs in Essex.
We have supported these exceptional dogs since 2012,
helping them for over 14 years.
We also help other local retired police dog charities get started,
just as others helped us when we began in 2012.
Together with other local charities, we strive to provide ethical,
local support for retired police dogs.
