Founded in 2020, the Thin Blue Paw Foundation is a national charity dedicated to protecting, rehabilitating, and celebrating serving and retired police dogs across the UK. Under the leadership of Chairman Kieran Stanbridge, we provide critical veterinary care, rehabilitation, and welfare support to ensure these heroic dogs live healthy, dignified lives after their service.
The Thin Blue Paw Foundation has made a transformative impact since its inception, supporting over 150 retired police dogs and covering £330,000+ in veterinary and rehabilitation treatments. Our work extends beyond retirement: we’ve gifted 280 welfare packs to active police dogs, supplied 650 canine first aid kits to handlers, and trained 300+ handlers in life-saving canine first aid. Through sponsorships, merchandise sales, and donations, we ensure these loyal service animals receive the care they deserve.
