Dogs for Good Sponsor Puppy – Fudge
We’re really pleased to announce that Fortress Technology are the proud sponsors of Fudge.
This beautiful Chocolate Brown Labrador will be working alongside the wonderful Dogs for Good charity in Banbury. Their fantastic work brings together trained dogs and people, helping them overcome specific challenges and improving the lives of both.

Wear a Hat Day
Fortress Technology had some fun participating in Wear a Hat Day in support of Brain Tumour Research. Brain tumours are indiscriminate; they can affect anyone at any age. The goal of this fundraising event is to help fund crucial discovery research in order to find a cure for brain tumours.

Dogs for Good
Meet our sponsored Yellow Labrador puppy, Dolly! She is a lovely, affectionate girl with a really cheeky streak. Once she has completed her assistance dog training at our centre in Banbury, she will go on to support someone with autism, physical disabilities, learning disabilities or dementia, empowering them to live a more independent life.
Meet Ariel, the gorgeous Labrador X Golden Retriever puppy. She is a confident girl who loves to find toys to keep in her bed. She is on her way to becoming an expertly trained assistance dog.
Dolly and Ariel are currently learning loose-lead walking, self-control around distractions and confidence with new people and situations!
