Meet the TEAL CIC Support Dog Team

Our four-legged team members play an important role at TEAL CIC, helping to create a calm, welcoming and therapeutic environment for the young people we support.

Pebbles – Yellow Labrador
Pebbles travelled all the way from Cyprus after being found as a young puppy. She had to wait patiently before she could fly to the UK and begin her new life. Now 8 years old, Pebbles loves nothing more than a game of fetch and spending time with our students. Her gentle nature and friendly personality make her a firm favourite with everyone she meets.

Frank – Educational Support Pug
Frank is our resident lap dog and professional relaxation expert! He loves curling up beside students, offering comfort, companionship and emotional regulation throughout the day. Whether he’s snoozing, snoring or simply enjoying a cuddle, Frank has a wonderful way of helping people feel calm and supported.

Ripple – Chocolate Labrador
Ripple is a bundle of enthusiasm and energy. He loves joining in with movement breaks, outdoor activities and interactive sessions. His playful nature encourages students to get active, build confidence and enjoy spending time outdoors while developing important social and communication skills.

Gizmo – Educational Support Pup in Training
Gizmo is the newest member of the TEAL pack and brings plenty of fun wherever he goes. Full of curiosity and character, he is currently learning his role as an educational support pup. As he grows, Gizmo will help support students through play, interaction and companionship, following in the pawprints of his canine teammates.

Together, our dogs help create a nurturing environment where young people can feel safe, supported, valued and ready to learn.
