Essex Retired Police Dogs Fund
We have been financially helping
retired police dogs for over 14 years.
We have been pleased to help several other
Local RPD Charities to set up just as we were
helped when we started out in 2012.
We hope you enjoy finding out about our work;
as along with other Local RPD Charities we strive to
deliver ethical local support for these exceptional dogs
