You can help train new guide dogs this Christmas!
It takes a very special dog to be a guide dog – they help to give those affected by sight loss independence and a loving, loyal companion. Well known charity, Guide Dogs, needs more support to keep training new puppies in this important work.
Changing people’s lives
Every hour, one person in the UK suffers sight loss. Each year, Guide Dogs breeds around 1,000 puppies who will undertake the intense training required to become a guide dog.
There are almost 5,000 guide dogs in the UK, but many more are needed. Training a guide dog puppy takes years, costs around £50,000, and relies on the hard work and support of many different people. That’s why Guide Dogs needs the help of the public to help make it happen – and their popular ‘Sponsor a Puppy’ scheme is one way they do that.
New puppies for Christmas 2020 – makes a perfect gift!
We were thrilled to see the introduction of three new puppies that you can sponsor!
Their names are Poppy, Alfie and Harry – you can learn more about them in the videos below and on the Guide Dogs website. It’s also possible to sponsor the puppy of your choice as a gift for a loved one – perfect for an original and unique present at Easter or any time of year.
