"Having a guide dogs means company, independence and speed. I am so much faster with Ryder." - Laura, Blind Low Vision NZ Client

How your generosity makes a real difference

Your kindness helps us to train around 25-30 life-changing guide dogs each year.

These guide dogs help people who are blind, deafblind or low vision gain freedom and independence. But raising and training a guide dog can cost up to $50,000. 

With your generous support, we can continue matching more people in need with life-changing guide dogs.

Ryder's Impact

Ryder’s impact extends far beyond the practical aspects of assistance. He has gifted Laura an intangible sense of liberation and empowerment. Laura beautifully expressed, “He’s given me my freedom. He’s given me wings.”

The Power of a Guide Dog

Ryder, a remarkable guide dog, has become an unwavering source of freedom and companionship for Laura, his owner. The skills he acquired during his training have been life-changing for Laura, empowering her to overcome challenges and embrace new opportunities.


We Couldn't Do it Without You

Once guide dog puppies return to the Guide Dog Centre, our trainers work with six or more dogs at a time, giving them intensive training as well as support, all the equipment they need and of course lots of food. All things we couldn’t manage without your kind support.

Client and Support Services

We continue supporting people who are blind, deafblind or low vision, and their guide dogs, after they’re matched – in fact, as long as the special partnership between a person and their guide dog lasts. This could include one-on-one tuition, advocacy, technical support and so much more. All possible thanks to you!
