Guide dogs need assistance
GUIDE Dogs Queensland has issued an urgent appeal for 60 volunteers to come forward before the end of November, with 30 puppy raisers and 30 dog boarders needed to support the next generation of life-changing guide dogs.

With all costs covered, full training provided and ongoing support from the Guide Dogs Queensland team, volunteering could be easier than you think. But time is running out.
Guide Dogs Queensland CEO Jock Beveridge said the organisation was calling on animal lovers, families, retirees and everyday Queenslanders to consider opening their homes to a very special dog.
“We urgently need 60 Queenslanders to put their hands up before the end of November,” he said.
“These volunteers play a vital role in preparing our dogs for the future.”
