What is Puppy Pals?

Your regular gift helps transform adorable puppies into highly skilled Guide Dogs, Assistance Dogs and Facility Dogs, changing lives across South Australia and the Northern Territory.

As a Puppy Pal, your impact begins from the very start. Over the next two years, you’ll help provide the expert care, training and experiences our puppies need to grow into confident working dogs ready to support people with low vision, blindness or disability.

Along the way, you’ll follow your puppy’s journey through exclusive updates, photos and stories, and receive an invitation to celebrate their graduation from our Puppy Development Program.

Most importantly, your ongoing support gives every puppy the best possible start and helps create life-changing partnerships for the people who need them most.

How will my donation make a difference?

Your regular donation helps give our puppies everything they need to grow into highly skilled Guide Dogs, Assistance Dogs and Facility Dogs, empowering people with low vision, blindness and other specialised support needs to live with greater independence, confidence and inclusion.

From expert breeding and veterinary care to specialised training, socialisation and development, every stage of a puppy’s journey is made possible by the generosity of supporters like you.

It costs more than $50,000 to breed, raise and train each working dog. With limited government funding, your support plays a vital role in making these life-changing partnerships possible.

As a Puppy Pal, your regular, tax-deductible gift helps ensure more puppies can complete their journey and go on to change lives for years to come.
