Every day 250 people start to lose their sight in the UK.
By sponsoring a puppy, you can help give someone with sight loss the freedom to live the life they choose.
There are 2 million people living with sight loss in the UK.
By 2050 this number is set to double. Sponsor a puppy today to help us provide services to everyone who needs them.
Your donations are crucial to help us continue our work.
Every penny raised makes a difference to people living with sight loss in the UK.

Around two years. You will follow your puppy’s journey from their puppy raiser’s home to Guide Dogs Training School, with a final Pupdate introducing you to your dog’s new owner!
However, the good news is that the story doesn't need to stop there! That's because in your final Pupdate, we will introduce you to another puppy and give you the option to continue following a journey with this new pup.
Yes! If you make a donation or raise (with friends, family or colleagues) £2,500 or more, you can give a guide dog puppy the special gift of a name. Please call 0345 1430 192 for further information or visit our Name a Puppy page.
We want to make your guide dog puppy sponsorship a worthwhile experience. We'll send you regular photos and updates, which we call Pupdates, on how your guide dog puppy is progressing. Your Pupdates will be sent to you through the post and via email. You’ll also receive regular emails and be able to join your puppy’s exclusive Facebook group to see more photos from your pup’s puppy raiser and trainer. Alternatively, you can opt for a paperless journey and only receive ePupdates by calling our helpful Supporter Experience team on freephone 0800 953 0113.
You will receive six Pupdates about your guide dog puppy in total - one every four months, usually in February, June and October – together with a photo showing how your guide dog puppy has grown.
Plus, when you join, you'll also receive a special photo card of your guide dog puppy, a photo album, a fridge magnet and a certificate in your name as well as an exclusive calendar every year.
We understand that circumstances can change and that you may not be able to or wish to continue sponsoring a puppy with us. So, you can of course cancel your sponsorship at any time by emailing us at sapenquiries@guidedogs.org.uk or by calling freephone 0800 953 0113 to let us know.

"I really enjoyed sponsoring Comet and watching him grow. I’m unable to have a dog of my own, and this is the next best thing! It gives me great joy at a small price."
Gary
"I have been sponsoring guide dog puppies for about 5 years; Spirit, Marley and now Moose! I love the Pupdates and hearing when they are partnered with their new owners."
Sally
"It is one of the best things I have ever done, and I get immense pleasure from watching a puppy develop into a fully trained guide dog. It is also a lovely gift to give a child!"
