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 Wednesday, April 8, 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.

Meet and greet events

Our puppy caring community hold regular ‘meet and greet’ events with their puppy development trainers. Fun and informal, these catch ups are a great way to meet other carers and learn more about the rewarding experience of volunteering for Seeing Eye Dogs. 

We continually update this section with upcoming events, so don’t forget to come back to see where we will be popping up next.

Aussie World (QLD)

Our puppies are having a day out at the Aussie World theme park!

Our puppies (supervised by our staff and volunteers) will participate in a group session to learn about distractions, interactions with the crowds and how to be good citizens.

If you are heading to the park on Wednesday 1 April, from 10am to 1pm, please come and say hello! We welcome your questions regarding our puppy caring program.

1 Downunder Drive, Palmwiew QLD 4553.

Bendigo Easter Festival (VIC)

Just like the Easter Bunny, we’ll be popping up at Rosalind Park, Bendigo!

You’ll find us near the Rotunda with our staff, volunteers, clients — and of course, our adorable puppies. Come by for a cuddle, ask a question, or both!

Westfield Tuggerah (NSW)

Doing a spot of shopping?

We will be at Westfield Tuggerah on Friday, April 17 from 10am to 1pm. We would love to have a chat with you and answer any questions you may have about puppy caring. Our staff, volunteers and puppies will be there also.
