Calling all guide dog owners - we need your thoughts! 📣

To help us promote Sponsor a Puppy, we need guide dog owners to share how their guide dog has changed their life or helped them achieve their goals.

Please follow the link to complete survey, which is just five quick questions 🙏 https://forms.office.com/e/UQhrPkALN2

If you live near our training centres in Liverpool, Atherton or Shrewsbury, you could have a dog like Lilly or Addison with you during the weekends!

Our volunteer Fosterers provide a loving home for our training dogs in the evenings and weekends, dropping them off at "school" each day. We provide you with the training and information you need, and all essential costs are covered by Guide Dogs.

Happy Birthday to…oh it’s us!

It’s our birthday and we’re 13 today!!

Since 2013 the Liverpool group has raised £525,545!

This is the lifetime cost of 5 guide dog partnerships.

We couldn’t do it without all of our incredible volunteers and of course those we meet out and about at events making your donations.

If you’d like more details on how to join our group or a group in your local area please drop us a message.

In celebration of us becoming a teenager, here are some photos of our dogs that have joined us over the years, some are with us still and others we miss very much.

Each image has a description.
