Your monthly donations can be made by automatic debits from a nominated bank account or credit card.

Puppy Pals will receive an annual tax receipt in July each year, which will include a summary of all donations from the previous financial year.

As a Puppy Pal to a litter of our trainee Guide Dogs pups, you will receive:

• A welcome pack, including a magnetic photo frame
• Quarterly ‘PUPdates’ to follow the puppies’ journeys
• An invitation to our exclusive Puppy Pal events
• The opportunity to name future Guide Dog puppies
• A cute Christmas card at the end of each year
• A receipt of your tax-deductible gifts at the end of the financial year
• Lots more surprises!

While you are closely following the journey of this litter of adorable pups, your donations will contribute to the Guide Dog Program as a whole, supporting all our puppies in their development. Ultimately, your donation goes towards helping people with low vision or blindness live confident and independent lives.

You can become a Puppy Pal from $20 a month.
