These Pups Have a Dream

Will you please help train these puppies into Assistance Dogs?

The Power of Dogs

There are many ways dogs help us survive. For people living with a disability, Assistance Dogs are a lifeline.

We know that dogs are capable of so much. Their keen intelligence, love of work, affection, and connection to humans can be harnessed in the most incredible, life-changing ways, bringing more joy and independence where it seemed impossible before.

Assistance Dogs spend two years learning practical and emotional support skills to help people living with a physical disability, autism, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or students with additional needs.

The difference Assistance Dogs make is staggering. But they can’t get there on their own.

 

Puppy Training Could Be Put On Hold

At the moment, demand for Assistance Dogs is far greater than the resources we have.

Despite working at our maximum capacity, some puppies may miss out on their opportunity to become an Assistance Dog if we can’t raise the $120,000 we need to get them through training.

 

How Your Generosity Transforms Lives

Our dogs are given completely free of charge to people all across Australia. It takes two years to train and costs over $40,000 to turn a puppy into an Assistance Dog. This covers all training, food, vet check-ups, kennelling costs, and placement with a client.

As we receive no government funding for training, we rely solely on the generosity of the community.

Without your help, puppies could miss out on fulfilling their immense potential as life-changing Assistance Dogs. Please don’t let the puppies fail. Your kindness will change the lives of both puppy and the human they are placed with.
