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 Tuesday, August 11, 6pm to 7pm (AEST).

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.

Alexandra Headlands Coastal Walk (QLD)

Join us for a scenic coastal walk Friday, August 7, starting at 10am from the Alex Surf Lifesaving Club. We'll make our way to the Dog Memorial for a relaxing morning tea before returning to the Surf Life Saving Club.

Along the way, we'll incorporate some fun and practical puppy training activities, including basic impulse control exercises. It's a wonderful opportunity to see our puppies and carers in action and ask us about our caring program and how you can get involved.
