Collect funds at your business
Host a Collection Dog
Our iconic Collection Dogs have been helping Australians support Guide Dogs for generations. By providing a home for one at your business, you can help raise vital funds at no cost, other than a small amount of counter or floor space.
We offer both large floor-standing Collection Dogs for high-traffic locations such as supermarkets and shopping centres, and smaller countertop Collection Dogs that are perfect for cafés, bakeries, newsagencies, hotels and other retail businesses.
Our dedicated Fundraising volunteers will regularly service your Collection Dog by collecting donations and maintaining it, making it an easy and hassle-free way to support Guide Dogs SA/NT. You’ll also receive updates on the funds your Collection Dog has helped raise and the difference those donations are making.
If you’d like to join the many businesses helping change lives by hosting a Collection Dog, we’d love to hear from you.
