Let's pair you with a puppy! 

We need dog lovers to provide cuddles and care for our Seeing Eye Dogs puppies on their training journey. With your guidance and support, a Seeing Eye Dogs puppy can grow up to make a life-changing impact for a person who is blind or has low vision. 

Before you join our community of dog-loving volunteers, an information session can let you know what’s involved and answer any questions you have. We also have some FAQs.

Upcoming information sessions

Information session: online (VIC, NSW, QLD)

Our next online information session is Thursday, April 30, from 6pm to 7pm (AEDT).

This session will cover all the details on our caring programs and how you can get involved.

Looking forward to seeing you online.
