Hello I am Chilli!! I am a rescue pup from Battersea Dogs Home and with your help I can become a life-saving Medical Detection Dog.
Breed: Labrador
Gender: Male
Colour: Yellow
Likes: Toys
Dislikes: Being bathed
Chilli is a very easy puppy to live with, he loves his food, squeaky toys and cuddles.
He is now sleeping through the night so his socialiser is very happy! Chilli is also getting used to wearing his collar and can wear it up to an hour at a time now.
Chilli recognises his name, will wait for the whistle before hoovering up his food and we are starting to practice to “sit”
He is also a self-taught gardener and plant taster. His digging skills are second to none and so far he has tasted most of the plants, ensuring we don’t poison ourselves by eating the wrong thing.
Chilli is a confident and inquisitive pup and we are so happy to welcome him to the MDD team.
By sponsoring Chilli today, you can help change lives, and be part of Chilli’s journey to become a life-saving Medical Detection Dog.

Elizabeth’s journey with PoTS has been a rocky one to say the least. She only appeared to have black out episodes whilst doing judo and used to get some kind of warning beforehand. As time passed she began to feel more unwell in day to day life; was always extremely tired and dizzy, ached constantly, and had frequent heart palpitations and chest pain. Her black outs also started happening more and more frequently without warning, and whilst doing daily activities, such as school, shopping or watching TV. Elizabeth also had a fair few bad injures and concussions from dropping suddenly. Henry and Elizabeth were partnered up and ready to give it a whirl in the real world. Elizabeth was blown away how much more relaxed, calm and safe her episodes were. Henry would alert, she’d sit down, and everything would run its course smoothly; no injuries or drama. With time his alerting became really strong and he hardly missed any episodes! Henry has allowed Elizabeth to take her independence back and start living! He’s her wet nosed knight in shining armour and she couldn’t be more grateful to him.
