Have you ever wondered how a specially trained dog can transform the life of someone with vision loss, helping them navigate the world with confidence?
Guide Dogs Queensland has been empowering Queenslanders with low vision or blindness for over 65 years, providing life-changing services through their remarkable dogs and dedicated volunteers.
4ZZZ's Eliot Rifkin is joined by Jock Beveridge, CEO of Guide Dogs Queensland to chat about their impactful work and how the community can support this vital mission.
For a deep dive...
Visit the Guide Dogs Queensland website for all kinds of info on what they do and how to get involved. Here's a bit about Guide Dogs and Guide Dogs Queensland's history and the general history of Guide Dogs (Mascot Dogs) and how they helped in World War 1. The 1st Australian Guide Dogs were in Perth.
Here's a direct link to Guide Dog Queensland's services and how you can make an enquiry for support. No experience with dogs is necessary... so would you like to volunteer at an event, be an ambassador, become a Puppy Raiser or Foster a guide dog? Don't have time, well here's ways to donate. Some dogs don't pass the Guide Dog standards, perhaps you'd like to give a 'Career Change' dog a forever home?
