In the charity's own words
Pensions4Paws support retired Police and Fire Dogs from Hampshire Constabulary, Thames Valley Police and Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service. When a Police or Fire Dog retires from the service it no longer receives any financial assistance. We aim to raise money to pay for the veterinary care of these animals in their old age.
