What is a Puppy Pal?
Contribute to the journey of our promising puppies as they work to become Guide Dogs.
A Puppy Pal is a valued supporter who makes regular donations to contribute to the journey of our promising puppies as they work to become Guide Dogs.
When you become a Puppy Pal, you support our Guide Dog program. This includes:
- training and enrichment equipment
- maintenance of our kennel facilities
- veterinary costs
- and expert dog training staff.
As a Puppy Pal, you will be part of a community of supporters and dog lovers all following the journey of a litter of promising pups.
While you closely follow the journey of your litter, your donations will contribute to the Guide Dogs program as a whole, supporting all our puppies in their development.
Ultimately, your donation goes toward helping people with low vision or blindness to live confident and independent lives.
