ASSISTANCE dog charity Canine Partners is celebrating 25 years by offering new products, including novelty Christmas jumpers, decorations and a range of children’s products.

Canine Partners is based in Heyshott, near Midhurst, and buying from the charity helps towards the cost of training the dogs to help people with physical disabilities enjoy greater independence.

The festive merchandise, which includes a diary, books, clothing and dog toys, can be bought either online at www.caninepartners.org.uk/shop or by calling (01730) 716032.

Canine Partners’ cartoon pup Sunny can be found in festive cheer on two of the charity’s new items, a fun Christmas jumper (£27) and wrapping paper (£1.50).

This year’s Christmas cards feature 30 designs including “Yappy Christmas”, “Winter Fun” and “Snowman and Friends”, priced from £3.25 per pack plus postage and packing.

Canine Partners’ Julie Graham, said: “For the past 25 years we have transformed the lives of people with disabilities, so why not help us continue our good work by supporting our charity through our shop – we have something for everyone.”

Another Christmas present idea is to sponsor a Canine Partners’ puppy for as little as £1 per week through the charity’s My Amazing Puppy regular giving scheme.

The recipient will receive regular photographs and updates throughout the puppy’s training, up to when they have been partnered with a disabled person.
