Yesterday was a huge milestone for our new Guide Dogs NSW/ACT pups, who received their harnesses, and are now ready to safely guide their Handlers out in the community! 🦮🎓 Thank you to all our donors and Puppy Raisers, we couldn't have done it without your incredible support.

Guide dogs in training Chilli and Darcy jumped on board one of our buses to hone their paw-some skills. These hard-working hounds might look cute, but they have a serious job helping people who are living with low vision, blindness and other specialised needs. 🦮 @GuideDogsAUS

The B litter were on their best behaviour as Guide Dogs Victoria Ambassador @_DollyDiamond got up close and offered lots of pats and cuddles. Even if the allure of sequins didn’t fuss the puppies!

We are thrilled to be partnering with @GuideDogsAUS an organisation that helps make independent living and travel a reality for so many people. Meet Ingrid Barnes and her Guide Dog, Banner who are regulars at #SydneyAirport, having taken 29 flights together since they were matched in 2019. #GuideDogs play a crucial role in providing independence and assistance to people with low vision or blindness, especially when they travel. This Christmas, we hope to raise enough funds to raise and train 5 guide dogs puppies. You can help by donating here: bit.ly/41fvLt9 [Video description: Video shows Guide Dog Handler Ingrid arriving at Sydney airport with her Guide Dog Banner and a suitcase. Ingrid wears a blue dress and red cross-body bag. She navigates around the airport with Banner and a Sydney Airport staff member before boarding a plane, where she sits in a row of seats next to a journalist, and her Guide Dog Banner sits beside her. Throughout the video, there are also clips of Kate (Sydney Airport) and Tamara (Guide Dogs NSW/ACT) speaking to the camera.]

This Christmas, we're partnering up with @GuideDogsAUS to raise funds and support a litter of 5 puppies. Guide Dogs play a crucial role in providing independence and assistance to people with low vision or blindness, especially when they travel. It costs $50,000 to breed, raise and train each Guide Dog, and with the help of the travelling public, we hope to raise enough funds to care for the new litter over the next two years. Donate here: bit.ly/47NLjXK [Image description: A woman wearing a blue dress walking through Sydney Airport.
