Doris

I'm not available to sponsor but from just £1 per week you can choose from one of our new recruits and watch them grow from an eight-week-old bundle of fur into a fully-qualified guide dog.

Here’s Doris at the Guide Dogs National Centre. She is a sweet Labrador/golden retriever cross who loves exploring the world around her.

Why Doris needs sponsoring

Doris is about to begin her guide dog training journey, where she ultimately hopes to be partnered with her new guide dog owner, providing life-changing support and companionship. 

We rely on donations from people like you to continue and expand our services, helping people with sight loss live the life they choose. Please sponsor Doris today.
 

How sponsorship works

It's quick and easy to sponsor a guide dog puppy and you can download your certificate and puppy photo straight away.

  1. Choose one or more of the guide dog puppies available to sponsor and set up your sponsorship by completing your details online.
  2. Over 24 months, we'll send you regular photos and updates (which we call Pupdates) about how your guide dog puppy is getting on. You'll receive six Pupdates (one every four months), regular emails and be invited to join your puppy’s exclusive Facebook group to follow their journey. 
  3. When your sponsorship ends, we'll introduce you to another puppy and the option to continue following a journey with this new pup.
