Help Make it Happen

Thank you for considering a gift to Lions Foundation of Canada/Dog Guides Canada. Your contribution is critical to our success.

Lions Foundation of Canada, the founder and primary supporter of Dog Guides Canada, is a unique charity. With no government funding, the Lions Foundation has grown from a dream to an established and rapidly expanding charity that contributes in a very real way to the day-to-day lives of Canadians with disabilities.
It takes many resources to raise, train and place a highly skilled Dog Guide. From learning basic household manners to honing the skills required of them in service, it costs approximately $20,000. Lions Foundation of Canada believes no one should be denied their independence as an active member of their community. That’s why each Dog Guide is provided at no cost to recipients. All costs are funded entirely by donations and fundraising events.

There are many ways you can help make a difference in the lives of people with disabilities.

Nestle Purina PetCare is the Lions Foundation of Canada’s key corporate sponsor and supporter.
Purina has been providing foster puppies and dogs in training with dog food since day 1, more than 25 years ago. Purina is the key sponsor of the national Purina Walk for Dog Guides and their support has been instrumental in the success of the Walk each year.

Thank you Purina for your long term generous support!

Lions Foundation of Canada places a high value on our relationship with you, our donors. Without your support we would not be able to achieve our mission of providing Dog Guides to Canadians with disabilities. We thank you for your commitment to us.
