Low Vision Services Guide Dogs SA.NT

Everyone wants to say «hello gorgeous» to the guide dog and ignore the vision impaired person! Stop it! If you really love the guide dogs so much go into Guide Dog Services and buy a $ 10 soft toy or make a donation, otherwise you may get that beautiful creature into trouble. You understand it costs a lot of time, effort and money to train a guide dog, and it is not impossible to untrain them by treating them like a normal dog — you know — telling them they’re beautiful, giving them treats, ignoring what they’re doing and just patting them regardless.
It is important to respect the job they are doing and the person they are helping. You can get involved in these wonderful creatures by donating at Guide Dogs, or you can raise puppies for them — sounds great but it can be difficult stuff to do and you have to be the right sort of person. Still keen? Okay, get on their website to find out more and maybe you will be the best person for the job.
The service does a lot of things, first up they assist with discerning if a person has impaired vision or hearing, they assist in setting up systems in the home and making referrals to specialist care services and health professionals and they raise dogs to assist people with vision impairment.
If you just want to be supportive of the remarkable work Guide Dogs South Australia & Northern Territory do, make a donation.
