Christmas Appeal 2024

Whilst some children write their Christmas lists...

..., there are children like my best friend Ted who are on the waiting list for an Assistance Dog.

It hurts my doggy heart to think of them. Please will you sent a gift that could help change the life of a child with autism and give them back Christmas?

PLEASE HELP end a child's wait for an Assistance Dog, and give Christmas back to a family.

WOOF! You understand that a dog like me can change the life of a child with autism.

Before I came into Ted’s life, he found the world overwhelming. Often, his autism meant he’d throw himself on the floor when the family needed to leave the house. So, his parents had to use a buggy.

Time went by – Ted was eight years old. He was still using the buggy, so his parents applied for an Assistance Dog because they knew what a dog like me can do.

You won’t believe this, but I never saw Ted in his buggy. He wanted to walk with me from the very first day!

Dear amazing supporter,

I want to say a big thank you for bringing Yarrow into our lives. He's given us more than I could ever have dreamed.

Your support is SO important...

It costs €53,000 to train an Assistance Dog like me! With a gift this Christmas, you'll play a vital role in helping us to breed, raise and support a Guide or Assistance Dog.

€20 for a collar and lead set to train a puppy
€50 for a puppy equipment pack to promote puppy development
€10 for a puppy health and vaccine pack

This Christmas, a child like Ted is waiting for an Assistance Dog. Give a gift that could transform their life.

Every cent donated will go towards helping us provide life-changing services for people with sight loss.

A gift from you could help cover the costs of training and supporting an Assistance Dog like me, and help change a child’s life furever.

We need your help!
