Chances are, you’ve had something important interrupted in the last few weeks. People across the country and around the world have had to postpone weddings, travel and other important events. One thing that can’t stop, though, is guide dog training. Every minute of training a future guide dog receives as a pup is critical to its success. We have had to adapt our training, keeping the dogs and trainers safe, but the CNIB Guide Dog program continues, even when it seems like everything else has stopped.
The best way to support these pups and future guide dogs, right now, is to become a monthly donor. It’s quick, easy and you’ll feel very glad you did it.
