Meet some new Puppy Pals!
David and Anne Young are among hundreds of Guide Dogs NSW/ACT supporters who have signed up for our exciting new Guide Dogs program - Puppy Pals.
The couple lives in the Sydney suburb of Riverstone with their son, daughter-in-law and four grandchildren. The family also has two dogs: a 12-year-old Australian terrier cross named Angel, and a frisky little kelpie cross puppy
called Kaiser.
David and Anne are long-time supporters of Guide Dogs. "We wanted to support a charity, and I always thought that the one thing I'd hate to lose would be my sight - so Guide Dogs was a good fit," Anne says.
Anne adds: "The thing we admire most about Guide Dogs NSW/ACT is that the dogs are trained by loving, professional staff, and go to help people who really need them."
The Youngs are now looking forward to the benefits of Puppy Pals membership. These include regular updates about our puppy-raising program and the Guide Dogs Centre; report cards on dogs-in-training; an opportunity to communicate with the Guide Dogs trainers; and visits to the Centre.
"We can't wait to find out more about the training process, and to see how the pups develop into fully-trained Guide Dogs," David says.
You can become a Puppy Pal by making a regular monthly gift. In doing so, you can help turn some of the cutest puppies into fully trained Guide Dogs.
