Sponsor a Guide Dog puppy today
It takes a whole team to make the journey from cute puppy to confident Guide Dog.
Your sponsorship is a little magic that goes a long way...
When your puppy becomes a fully trained Guide Dog, he or she will be carefully matched to someone who is blind or vision impaired, waiting in hope for a new life. You can help ensure our tiny Guide Dog pups will have the opportunity to fulfill their destiny and future special role as Guide Dogs.
Puppy Sponsorship is also the ideal gift for a friend or family member.
Be there every step of the way and help a puppy learn, grow and develop into a fully trained Guide Dog.
The journey from puppy to Guide Dog...
Selective Breeding
With selective breeding developed over many years, Guide Dogs Victoria produces its own quality dogs for work as future Guide Dogs.
The puppies are especially bred at our breeding centre in Kew and they receive loving expert care from dedicated vet nurses.
12 Months of socialisation training
At seven weeks of age each pup starts a socialisation program in the loving homes of volunteer Puppy Raisers. This process is fundamental in the Guide Dog Puppy’s development. The puppy is introduced to various environments and experiences to ultimately help them in working as a Guide Dog.
Intensive Guide Dog Training
At 12 months of age, five months of intensive training takes place at Guide Dogs Victoria in Kew.
Matching Process
Matching the right Guide Dog to a blind or vision impaired person is the next important step. The matching process takes a further month of training for both the dog and handler, and Guide Dogs Victoria is always on hand to help.
Graduation
The graduation ceremony takes place at the end
of training and is a wonderful celebration, especially for the proud sponsors.
All our Guide Dogs are provided free of charge
to clients.
