Campaigns
Seeing Eye Dog Fundraising Appeal
At any one time over 2,000 Australians are estimated to require support from a Seeing Eye Dog. To help reduce this figure, the Petbarn Foundation and Seeing Eye Dogs Australia (SEDA) are urge Aussies to get behind Petbarn Foundation annual fundraising appeal to assist Australians who are blind or have low vision.
"It takes a lot of time, love, patience and money to raise these special working dogs that will one day become the gift of independence for people who are blind or have low vision," said Leigh Garwood, General Manager from Seeing Eye Dogs Australia.
Last year’s successful fundraising campaign through The Petbarn Foundation raised $397,379 which enabled 13 more Seeing Eye Dogs to be trained.
