GUIDE DOGS
AIS want to make a difference to the community we live in.
Together with our staff we selected the training of a guide dog as our official company charity. Both AIS and our staff individually contribute to the costs of training a guide dog each year.
Guide Dogs Victoria helps blind and vision impaired people to travel their own life journey with a sense of safety, fulfilment and independence by providing a comprehensive range of mobility services to individuals aged from 5 to 95 years.
Mobility training services include Guide Dog Mobility, Orientation and Mobility, Children’s Mobility, Acquired Brain Injury Mobility and Occupational Therapy.
Operating since 1957, Guide Dogs Victoria’s services are provided free of charge to blind and vision impaired people right across Victoria and with less than 9% government funding, your support is vital in the continued provision of these programs.
Angus is the puppy AIS are funding the training of in 2009. He was born on 6th October 2008. Here is a photo of some of our staff visiting him in October 2008 and another photo from December 2008.
AIS will fund the raising of a puppy each year for their first 12 months, after which they will enter the formal Guide Dog training program.
