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 for 2026 is on Wednesday, February 25, 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.

Sea Life Aquarium, Sunshine Coast (QLD)

We’re taking our adorable puppies on a special socialisation adventure through the aquarium, where they’ll discover the wonders that lie beneath the surface.

If you’re nearby, we’d love for you to stop in, meet the puppies, and have a chat with our friendly team of staff and volunteers. It’s the perfect opportunity to learn more about our caring program, ask questions, and see firsthand the incredible experiences our dogs enjoy as part of their journey.

We will be there from 9.30am to 10.30am on Monday, February 23; Parkyn Parade, Mooloolaba QLD 4557.
