Sponsor A Guide Dog This Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and you are probably starting to think about what would make the perfect gift for your loved one. Whilst we all love chocolate and flowers it would be nice to do something a little different so you can surprise your other half with something special. You could choose to sponsor a guide dog puppy as your gift to your better half.
Herbie, Cally and Gismo are three puppy’s about to embark on a journey as they transform into full grown life changing guide dogs. These three cuties need your help and all it costs is just £1 a week. For that Guide Dogs For The Blind will send your loved one regular Pupdates which will keep you informed about how your puppy is getting on. They will also receive a gorgeous welcome pack and you can print a puppy photo and certificate to include as part of your Valentine’s Day card.
Sponsoring a puppy is not only a wonderful gift for your loved one, it will also change the life of someone who is either partially sighted or indeed totally blind. Ella for example who is a guide dog owned has just 10 per cent of her vision in a single eye and before being paired with a guide dog had to rely heavily on her family as she moved around. After being paired with a sponsored guide dog, everything has changed.
Ella says the presence of Sparkle in her life means she can get on the bus and head into town without having to rely on anyone else. Sparkle has given her the confidence to go out and about herself and now she cannot imagine what her life would be like without a guide dog.
It is astonishing to know that Sparkle was just a young six week old pup just like Herbie, Cally and Gismo. February 14th this year is Sparkle’s second birthday and every stage of her development as she grows up has been followed by her sponsors. This Valentine’s Day why not help change the life of someone by sponsoring a guide dog.
