Partnership with Midsummer Place

The partnership between Medical Detection Dogs and Midsummer Place is crucial. The shopping centre provides a safe environment for the dogs-in-training to learn vital skills. These puppies need to be comfortable and confident in public situations—riding lifts, navigating stairs, enjoying a coffee, and strolling through a busy shopping centre. These experiences prepare them for the future when they'll become the everyday companions of their humans in need.

Midsummer Place's generosity also extends to providing free parking during training sessions. This gift allows the funds that would have been spent on parking charges to be redirected toward the essential training of these life-saving dogs.

Join the Cause

On October 5th, Medical Detection Dogs will be at Midsummer Place, raising awareness and looking for passionate individuals to become puppy socialisers. This hands-on role plays a huge part in shaping the future of these remarkable dogs and the lives they impact.
