Five Reasons Why You Should Sponsor A Guide Dog Puppy This Christmas

Christmas is fast approaching – it seems to get earlier every year! This of course, means it’s that time of year when we need to think about what gifts we are going to give our friends and family. At udopt we love the work carried out by Guide Dogs for the Blind, so we thought we’d compile a list of five reasons why you should sponsor a guide dog puppy this Christmas.

1. Show your love for dogs without the responsibility.

Sponsoring a guide dog puppy is a great way to show your love for dogs, without all the responsibilities that come with owning one! This means if you are pushed for time or don’t have the space in your house to look after a real dog, then sponsoring a puppy with Guide Dogs is the perfect alternative to owning a real dog.

2. Help to change someone’s life.

Sponsoring a guide dog puppy can help change someone’s life. It costs as much as £50,000 to train and maintain a guide dog over its lifetime. Sponsoring a puppy can help with some of that cost. People who have vision impairments shouldn’t have to suffer from a loss of freedom and sponsoring a puppy can go a long way towards ensuring the partially sighted or blind stay mobile.

3. Sponsor a puppy for £1 a week – less than the price of your daily coffee!

Sponsoring a guide dog puppy costs as little as £1 a week or £4.33 a month, which means for less than the price of a cup of coffee, you could have a positive impact on someone’s life. If you prefer making a one off donation, that is also possible and remember all charity donations are tax deductible. Sponsoring a puppy with Guide Dogs for the Blind is a great way to feel good about yourself, so why not start this Christmas?

4. Sponsoring a puppy is a lot of fun.

Sponsoring a guide dog puppy is interactive and fun. You get regular updates and photos of your pup as it grows up, as well as a personalised certificate, and at the end of every year, you will receive a gorgeous calendar. This means you actually get to see how your money is being spent as your puppy develops into a fully fledged guide dog.

5. Its a great gift idea for someone special.

Sponsoring a guide dog puppy makes a great gift for yourself or someone special in your life and will help them to learn about guide dogs.
