IN MEMORY ENVELOPES
In Memory envelopes are special donation envelopes used to honour someone who has passed away. They’re often available at funerals or memorials, allowing people to donate to a chosen charity instead of giving flowers.

BEQUESTS
Bequests are donations made through your Will. You may choose to leave a fixed sum, a percentage of your estate, or the residual amount remaining after all other bequests and expenses have been distributed. It’s a simple way to support a cause you care about, even after you’re gone.

In return, you’ll receive exclusive updates on a litter of puppies, following their journey from the puppy program through to their official placement as Assistance Dogs.
SPONSORING A PUPPY
Sponsoring a Puppy is a special way to give a future Assistance Dog the best head start in their career. As a sponsor, you’ll receive exclusive naming rights, constant updates, and detailed information, including monthly progress reports on your puppy’s development.

MEET KERRY AND HEARING ASSISTANCE DOG HARLEY
Life before Harley looked a bit different for Kerry. Due to a health scare from an undiagnosed tumour – Kerry’s hearing loss was declining rapidly and became very limited.
“I cannot discern where a sound is coming from or at times, what the sound is.” Kerry says.
Even after acquiring implants, her social and physical well-being still began to decline, and she felt very isolated with minimal social contact.
“Venturing out to the shops was a challenge. People can be quite cruel when they cannot see an obvious disability and I have been accused of being ‘stupid’, ‘dumb’, and some other nasty words.”
After visiting our National Training Centre, Kerry decided to apply for a Hearing Assistance Dog—and soon, Harley arrived. Since then, the pair have become inseparable, with Harley alerting to sounds, improving Kerry’s confidence and safety, and even helping her return to daily walks. Whether at home or in public, Harley’s presence has been life-changing—earning him both praise and a bit of local celebrity status.
“Harley has restored a lot of my confidence and faith in other people. He makes me smile every day. And he’s so wonderfully cheeky! My woolly mate has given me back a sense of hope and joy and confidence in life.”
