*Two Major Charities Join Forces*
We would like to announce that @PawsomePensions will be closing on the 20th January 2024 and @The_NFRSA have been amazing in accepting the ongoing support of all our Pawsome dogs.
We’ve maintained a great friendship with the NFRSA as well as a deep mutual respect, and with the time constraints we experience in our lives, we felt it was the right moment to hand over the reins to a safe pair of hands.
The most important thing is that our retired dogs are looked after, and we can completely reassure our retired dog owners that this will be the total focus of the NFRSA.
We ask that all our supporters continue their generosity via the NFRSA, who will be taking care of our dogs for years to come. It may be a different pot - but it will do the same job!
Please follow them across social media & watch their journey, a part of which we will always remain, just under their umbrella.
Please read our statement below and watch the video. 💙❤️🐾🐾 💜🐾

So proud of these guys - all they’ve done over the last 7 years has been amazing.
@The_NFRSA takes over a healthy and vibrant organisation, and we are so privileged to embrace them all into our family.
Thank you for everything - here’s to the future.

Thank you everyone and we’ll leave the last word to RPD Bob! 😂 🐾
I’ll never forget the day that I nearly contaminated the training track for @PD_MagicMerlin and @PDLendog and had to hide in my vehicle whilst PD Merlin worked his magic. It was also the day that I met PD Riggs and two amazing police dog handlers. It was exactly 4 years ago this month and the rest is history!
It’s been a Pawsome journey and I’ve had lots of Pawsome some fun along the way. Thank you to everyone involved in this incredible organisation, but the biggest thank you has to go to the dogs, without whom none of this would have happened. 💙🐾 #PawsomePensions
We’re delighted to welcome RPD Jacque to the #NFRSA Family
Jacque served 6 years with Devon and Cornwall Constabulary @DC_Police – he had a very successful career as a general purpose dog before taking a well-deserved retirement in in 2022.
Jacque is loving retirement with his new family and spaniel friends Beans and Weenie. He’s not slowed down at all and since retiring he has taken on Pen y Fan, camped the North Coast 500 and won most handsome in a local dog show – it’s easy to see why as he is a very handsome chap! And let’s not forget his TV appearance on BBC’s Spotlight alongside Lady Bathurst!
Welcome Jaque, it’s wonderful having you as part of the #NFRSA Family.

You guys are awesome. Bob is awesome. And he can talk! Who knew.
Welcome everyone, and that’s EVERYONE @PawsomePensions - members, followers, supporters, teams, sponsors, the tea makers, the volunteers, the admin, just everyone.
But the biggest welcome is of course to the dogs - who now join our family, we’re so proud to be there for you all.
Please follow us as we take up this amazing baton - it’s a legacy we will nurture.
You’re all fabulous.
Thank you.

You are all superstars.
RPD Bob is a superstar.
We celebrate everything @PawsomePensions have done for SO many retired police and fire dogs since 2018.
Thank you for entrusting us with your legacy - we’ll always remember where it started, & what you’ve achieved. It’s amazing.
Looking forward to working side by side, taking this gift forward into the future.
From today we’ll all be in purple together - but the ethos remains exactly the same.
Lots of love and huge thanks to everyone who has been a part of the journey so far.
Join us, please.
Here’s to you and all the dogs in Devon - Cornwall - Dorset & Somerset!
We will see you soon. 🍻
PS: RPD Bob - you’re now banned from Corn-On-The-Cob.. 😉
