My Canine Companion is an Irish national charity who provide accredited service dogs to people with disabilities, predominantly autism. My Canine Companion also introduced Ireland’s first school therapy dog programme, which is now Ireland’s largest programme.
Our colleagues chose My Canine Companion as the first national charity partner for Currys Ireland in 2021. Since then, we have raised over €300,000 for the charity, as well as providing Autism Awareness & Understanding training for store and corporate staff, introducing Quiet Hours (weekdays until 10am) and equipped stores with complementary ear defenders and Sunflower lanyards for customers to improve their in-store experience.
