ADUK Candidates are assistance dog organisations that are working towards the same accreditation that our Members have, from either Assistance Dogs International or The international Guide Dog Federation. All of our Candidates are at different stages of their accreditation journey and when they are fully accredited will become Members of ADUK.
The only way to find out if you are eligible to apply for an assistance dog from one of our Candidates is to contact them directly. Find out more about each of them here:
