“It was like I had the keys to the world in front of me, I felt like I grew wings” - Ethan

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 Kiwis who are blind, deafblind or low vision gain freedom and independence. But raising and training a guide dog can cost up to $100,000. 

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

You’re helping to fund our Guide Dog Development Centre.

Did you know we’re the only breeders and trainers of guide dog puppies in Aotearoa? Our guide dog puppies start their lives in our Guide Dog Development Centre with their mum, and are cared for with enrichment, exercise and lots of love by our staff.

You’re helping us to find and support our amazing Puppy Raisers.

Our Puppy Placement and Development Advisors find amazing Puppy Raiser volunteers to provide 24-hour care, and visit them every two weeks through the first year of their life to offer one-to-one tuition and support.

We couldn’t keep providing our guide dog training 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.
