🎨 A beautiful show of support for Guide Dogs WA

We are incredibly grateful to blind artist Norma Pearce, who is generously donating all proceeds from her upcoming exhibition, The Inner Light, to Guide Dogs WA.

Norma’s artworks will be exhibited alongside fellow artists Jenny Jones and Sue Rushton at Studio 11 Art Gallery in Fremantle, with the exhibition opening on this Sunday 27 September from 2pm–4pm.

The exhibition will also be open on 1, 2 and 3 October from 11am–4pm, with all proceeds supporting Guide Dogs WA.

A heartfelt thank you to Norma for choosing to support Guide Dogs WA through her art. Generous community fundraising like this helps us continue our work supporting Western Australians with low or no vision to live with greater independence, confidence and connection.

If you’re in Fremantle, we encourage you to visit The Inner Light, enjoy Norma’s work and support a wonderful cause. 💛🐾

It is with great sadness to announce that one of our much-loved recently retired team members, Bazza, unexpectedly passed away earlier this week after a very short medical issue.
After celebrating his retirement from official services in August this year as the inaugural dog with Kites Children's Therapy Dog Assisted Therapy program, Bazza had just settled into a peaceful retirement with Maureen at his new forever home.
Bazza will be remembered for his caring, gentle nature and the comfort and joy that he bought to hundreds of children and their families over his many years of loyal service with us.
Ten year old Bazza was a favourite with both clients and staff, providing a guiding nose, a welcoming paw and a gentle, calming presence.
Our thoughts are with all of those whose lives he touched and the many staff across the organisation who grew to love him. We also want to acknowledge the volunteers who were involved in his care and support. He will be missed.

Our Volunteer Puppy Raisers and Boarders help raise future Guide and Assistance Dogs. They shower them with love, teach them basic commands, and take them everywhere they go so they can experience many different sights, sounds, smells, and textures.

Please join us for an online information session to find out what’s involved in volunteering to raise or board a future Guide or Assistance Dog puppy. You will also get an opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

Sessions will run for approximately 1 hour. This online event is held via Microsoft Teams. Our next session in WA is on Wednesday September 30 from 4-5pm AWST.

Make September the month you write your Will 🧡
Is writing your Will still on your to-do list?
Throughout September, Guide Dogs WA is partnering with Safewill to make this important task a little easier. You can write a simple online Will for free - normally $160.
Writing a Will is an important way to look after your loved ones and plan for the future.
While completing your Will, you may also choose to leave a gift to Guide Dogs WA. There is absolutely no obligation to do so, but leaving a gift is a meaningful way to support the causes you care about. 🧡
Gifts in Wills help provide Guide and Assistance Dogs to Western Australians living with low or no vision, disability, illness or other life challenges, supporting greater independence, confidence and quality of life.
This free offer is available during September only.
Write your Will online for free:

🐾 Small change can make a big difference!

Have you spotted one of our iconic Guide Dogs WA Mini Dogs or Model Dogs at your local café, shop or business?

For many years, these much-loved collection dogs have been helping raise vital funds to support our Guide Dogs WA programs and services for Western Australians living with low or no vision, disability or illness.

And we’re always looking for more businesses to give one of our dogs a home! 💛

Our 35cm Mini Dogs are perfect for sitting on a countertop near the till, while our 83cm Model Dogs are ideal for larger, high-traffic locations such as supermarkets and shopping centres.

Our dedicated volunteers regularly collect the donations, so hosting a dog is an easy way for your business and customers to support Guide Dogs WA.

Interested in hosting a Mini or Model Dog — or volunteering to help with our collection program?
