Louise d Aspremont — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 10:11:33 +0000

The London Retired Police Dogs Trust is a non-profit organisation dedicated supporting the welfare and needs of retired police and fire service dogs of the Metropolitan police, City of London police and the London Fire Brigade. Once retired, the responsibility of the dog falls to their handler who has an unbreakable bond with the animal. Some retired police dogs are rehomed to an adopted family who again, take on the responsibility of the dog.

The MAD Foundation supports the core activities and needs of the London Retired Police Dogs Trust helping them to support the welfare of these dogs, who do not receive a pension after service and incur high medical costs due to the nature of their work and retiring age.
