Meet Tilly – Guide Dogs 100th Sponsored Puppy
Here’s a great chance for you to meet a very special lady in our lives. This is Tilly, and she is the 100th Sponsored Puppy by Guide Dogs for the Blind. Tilly is a beautiful Labrador who loves cuddles and being made a fuss of, as you will see in the video below.
The Sponsor a Puppy Scheme has been has been running since 2001 and has been an amazing success since it’s conception. Thanks to your kind donations, puppies like Tilly get a chance for a flying start not just in their training to being a Guide Dog, but also in life. Puppy training is seriously expensive and time consuming, but the chance to help a blind or partially sighted person to a better life is well worth the costs.
Each Guide Dog takes just under two years to train at a cost of £50,000 per dog, but thanks to the Sponsor a Puppy scheme, Guide Dogs are training up more human helpers than ever before. Sponsoring a Puppy really is a great thing to do, and the person that does so will receive –
- Regular updates on their puppies training
- Cute photos and videos
- Photo album
- Personalised certificate
- Puppy calendar
So as you can see, you get a fantastic selection of goodies to go along with the knowledge that you are helping towards changing someone’s life. You can even sponsor Tilly as a gift for someone special if you like.
So why not sponsor a puppy with Guide Dogs for the Blind and give someone who is blind or partially sighted this amazing gift to help them get about out. It’s thanks to people like you that puppies such as Tilly are given the training they need to help people navigate around into a more fulfilling life.
