A collage of four guide dogs: Sandy, a yellow Labrador sitting with a harness; Gino, a yellow Labrador shown in a close-up; Kimba, a black Labrador lying down wearing a harness; and Paddy, a black Labrador seen in a close-up profile.

Sandy

Sandy is adapting to the busy farming lifestyle of her puppy raiser family, thanks to you. Adjusting to the farm life has been a breeze for her, being around sheep, chickens, ducks, pheasants and working dogs. One of her new friends is a Macaw who she talks to, and even tries to give kisses to it!

Gino

Gino is maturing into a paw-some guide dog. He’s very focused on completing the tasks asked of him and has made great progress. But when he’s not working, he’s still a real character!

While other dogs are still his biggest distraction, he’s gotten so much better and has been focusing on getting ready for formal training. He is so excited to get into the van that we’ve had to practice getting him to wait for the door to be opened before he leaps in, and then wait calmly to be leashed up before getting out!

Kimba

Kimba continues to achieve as a guide pup with the generous help of donations like yours. Recently she’s been doing a mixture of regular outings mixed up with several different medical appointments to help members of her puppy raiser family.

Not only does she settle quietly during the appointments, but finds lifts & bathrooms in places she has never visited before! Her nose goes up in the air and she’s a girl on a mission!

Paddy

Paddy is tracking really well on his overall development, thanks to your kind help. He loves going to lots of places that are really stimulating for him, but keeps up his best behaviour of not noticing anything while on the lead with his Puppy Raiser!

Paddy settles well in crowded places such as his local Café and supermarket even though the smells of the Deli are very hard to resist.

These puppies have a big future ahead, thanks to your support. Thank you for everything you do!
