This Christmas, help bring more life-changing dogs
into the world.

For nearly 70 years, Guide Dogs Victoria has been changing lives through extraordinary dogs and life-changing partnerships.

Today, we're building on that expertise to help even more people, including those living with trauma and facing other significant challenges.

Your donation this Christmas can help us breed, raise and train more extraordinary dogs, bringing confidence, comfort and independence to the people who need them.

An older man wearing a khaki cap, beige shirt and blue jeans sits on a wooden park bench, embracing a large black Labrador wearing a turquoise vest labelled “Assistance Dog”. He rests his head affectionately against the dog while gently holding it around the shoulders. The dog lies across his lap, looking to the left. The background features green grass, trees and park seating in soft focus, creating a peaceful outdoor setting.

Flynn helps Ernie reconnect with life.

After more than 20 years as a first responder, Ernie was living with PTSD and had withdrawn from social situations and time with his family.

His PTSD Assistance Dog Flynn is trained to recognise when Ernie is struggling and respond with comfort and distraction, helping him feel grounded, rebuild his confidence and reconnect with the people and experiences that matter most.

“Flynn has given me back experiences that I had started to believe were no longer possible”
— Ernie, Flynn’s Handler

Tilly brings calm and courage.

Court Dog Tilly is specially trained to provide comfort and reassurance to children and adults attending the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, helping ease anxiety during difficult experiences.

“Tilly has so much warmth and empathy, and she just senses when people need her.”
— Hilary, Tilly’s Handler
