- Sponsoring a Dog Guide Team

-
Sponsoring a Dog Guide will cover a portion of the approximately $20,000 that it costs to raise and train a puppy and ultimately match the Dog Guide with its handler. The entire process takes up to two years and your sponsorship helps provide not only the puppy's complete training but also its veterinary care, transportation, room and board for the handler while in residence at the Oakville school for training, and follow-up services during the life of the team. Your support will help the Dog Guide team be partners for as long as 10 years.
Your sponsorship can be directed to the program of your choice:
All contributions are tax-deductible.Hearing Ear Dog Guides
Canine Vision Canada
Special Skills Dog Guides
Seizure Response Dog Guides
Autism Assistance Dog Guides
$ 4,000
$ 6,000

Payments can be made over 3 years and sponsorship will be assigned when paid in full.
Sponsors are invited to attend a graduation ceremony at the end of the training session where they can meet their sponsored team. Sponsors are recognized and provided with a photograph of the graduating team and a plaque to recognize their generous donation.

Create your own special event with proceeds going to Dog Guides. Car washes, golf tournaments, plant sales... the only limit is your imagination.
Support an event as a sponsor, whether with products or cash. It's a unique marketing opportunity. The Purina® Walk for Dog Guides, with Nestle Purina PetCare as the national sponsor, is the Foundation's largest event, held in over 200 communities across the country.
