Raise Smart, Happy, Heroic Pups

Living with Cerebral Palsy and profound deafness, Jamie once relied on others for almost everything. Then she was paired with Assistance Dog Gus.

From helping her in and out of her wheelchair, to retrieving hard-to-reach items, and keeping her safe outside the house, Gus does so much more than assist; he gives Jamie freedom, confidence, and unconditional love.

Today, she lives independently and is training to be a Paralympian.

But so many people like Jamie are still waiting.

Your donation can turn a puppy into someone's lifeline and best friend.

Will you help transform a puppy into a life-changing partner for another Australian with disability?

Training the next hero pups

It takes over $60,000 and two years to train an Assistance Dog. Without generous supporters like you, many people with disability miss out.

From 8 weeks old, each puppy begins training with our expert trainers and volunteers, building the skills, confidence, and socialisation needed to change a life.

A Training Starter Pack – with a lead, collar, blanket, toy and learner jacket – gives every pup the best start.

By 14 months, they move into Advanced Training, mastering cues tailored to their future human partner.

At graduation, each dog is carefully matched with someone on the waitlist, empowering them to live a more independent, confident and connected life.

From playful puppy to hero Assistance Dog, your donation makes every step possible.
