We have a very important ‘Save the Date’ - and you are all welcome.

On the 10th May, by kind invitation of the Dean of Gloucester, and to celebrate our 4th birthday, we are holding a Special Service at @GlosCathedral to celebrate our service animals, both working and retired.

Handlers and families, owners, trainers, breeders, in fact ANYONE who has a love for our extraordinary dogs and horses who do so much for us, such as members of @AssociationRPDs and @tiredpawshmpdog - you are all welcome.

To those who support us, and the many other areas of this community, you are all welcome.

Better still, The Dean has invited the animals to be there too. Because this is for them.

More details to follow - but here is the save the date.

We will be reaching out to as many as we can, but we are so excited to celebrate our beautiful, loyal, and hardworking service animals, in whatever guise that may be.

Pop it in your diary now - we will keep you posted!

ANNOUNCEMENT

Sadly, the lovely Big Bark weekend, due to take place this coming Saturday and Sunday at @CirencesterPark has been postponed today, due to rising temperatures at the weekend.

The decision has not been taken lightly, but is completely with the welfare of the dogs in mind - it’s simply too hot.

All tickets will be honoured for the new dates - 18th and 19th of October - and we look forward to seeing you all then.

Stay cool out there!

@The_NFRSA @KPTacOps @kent_police Amazing!!! So good to see RPD
Coty having a patrol. Love to her handler & can’t wait for reports of those walks getting longer 💜🐶💜xx

[NFRSA @The_NFRSA]

Coty Update.

We wanted to give you an update from RPD Coty of @kent_police who thanks to you, received lifesaving spinal surgery 10 days ago.

She is getting much better. Her coordination improves by the day, and her pain is reducing slowly.

Lisa says she’s ‘getting bored’ - we’re delighted with that as it means she is getting back to her old self!

She doesn’t let Mum out of her sight, has had her staples out now, and wants to do more.

We have paid her vets fees in full - just under £14,000. This means we have some left over for Coty’s rehab and physio.

This is ALL thanks to you. Your donations went to Coty, or will. No overheads or admin costs - just straight to our girl from @KPTacOps

We are all incredibly grateful, and humbled by the support and love.

We’ll update soon - but we couldn’t be more grateful. And we know Lisa and Mark feel exactly the same. 💜

[PD Jinx & RPD Duke 💙💙 @amydeemo]

@CotswoldLadyB Wishing you a fantastic Happy 60th Birthday Lady B!!

Sending all our love 💙🐶💜xx

@VinnymanOne I’m so sorry!! I did wonder if it was you but then I was so hot & bothered I wasn’t sure else I’d have come and said hello! My car was not photo worthy as it was covered in tree sap and dust from the hotel so I couldn’t offer to make it look better for photos!! 💙

[PD Jinx & RPD Duke 💙💙 @amydeemo]

🚨 Calling all potential marathon running heroes! 🚨

Do you have the guts to take on 26.2 miles at the legendary London Marathon to help us take NFRSA fundraising to the next level?

We’re searching for two runners in 2026 who:

🏃‍♂️Are crazy enough to tackle the London Marathon
🐾Have a personal connection to our mission, and share our passion for supporting retired service animals
📹Will shout about every stage of the journey on our social media – from training diaries and fundraising activities to their race day experience, the works!
💪Will pull out all the stops to raise money for the NFRSA, enabling us to meet growing requests for our support
💷Will commit to a minimum pledge of £2,000 to support our heroes, but clearly the more ambitious the pledge the better!

If that’s YOU, drop us a quick email to [email protected]. Let’s make every step count!
🏃‍♀️‍🥈🐾🐎
