Allen Parton and his dog Endal and Karen O'Donoghue accept a cheque from Sue Finlay, General Merchandising Manager, and Jackie Bampton from ASDA, Havant on behalf of Canine Partners for Independence, sponsored by Nestlé Purina PetCare represented by Katharine Teed

ASDA, Havant has awarded Nestle Purina PetCare a Golden Bear Award for services over and above the call of duty. As a result ASDA are donating £100 to the charity of Nestle Purina PetCare’s choice, Canine Partners.

Canine Partners is a progressive charity which aims to transform the lives of people with disabilities by partnering them with highly trained assistance dogs, enabling them to live more independently. Canine Partners receives no government funding and is wholly dependent on public donations and legacies.

£100 will buy six months’ worth of veterinary costs for a Canine Partners puppy.
