This is where Sponsor a Puppy, a philanthropic group devoted to the collection for and preparation of dogs to assist the blind, comes in. A purely non-profit organization, Sponsor a Puppy thrives on the generosity of people like you to perform the good work that it does. Your involvement comes in the form of either a sponsorship pledge or a one-time donation. There are some interesting free benefits that come with a regular sponsorship, that create a sort of virtual bond between you and a future guide dog. Aside from the usual Pupdates and images of your sponsored dog growing up, you will receive things like an exclusive calendar, a photo album and other Sponsor a Puppy goodies. Just sign up at the Sponsor a Puppy website and select one of two options, a monthly direct payment at a minimum of £4.33, or a one-time disbursement of £120. Every single penny is funnelled towards one of a number of dogs that will one day grow up to be a boon to a deserving blind individual. As a further incentive, if you qualify, you can deduct about 25 percent or so of the amount you donate from your annual taxes. You may even make a donation in the name of a loved one.

A blind person will someday owe a higher standard of life to the generosity that you show with a simple donation. Help change the life of a blind person for the better with an old-fashioned but reliable solution for enduring the rigors of modern civilization in the dark.

Are you looking to make a difference to someone’s life but don’t know how? One of the most needy charities right now is the Guide Dog for the Blind Association, they are desperately seeking donors to sponsor guide dog puppies.

Sponsoring a puppies training is a long process, as it takes up to two years to be able to properly train a guide dog. There are around 10,000 blind or partially sighted people who could benefit from having a guide dog, so sponsoring a puppy to become one is a marvelous sacrifice for anyone. It’s really easy to sponsor guide dogs, all you have to do is fill in your details on the online form, agree to donate a minimum of 5 pounds a month and you’re set. All of your money will go to be spent on training the puppy you choose, so you can be sure it’s money well spent. Your puppy sponsorship will be a truly worthwhile experience, as you’ll be able to receive regular ‘pupdates’ on the progress he/she is making with training, as well as photos every few months so you can see how your puppy grows!. Another advantage of joining the puppy sponsorship scheme is that you’ll receive a special gift pack for your puppy that includes a puppy photo card, a photo album, a certificate, a calendar and a window sticker so you can show the world what you are doing. You won’t be able to meet your puppy though, as that is simply not possible due to the intensiveness of the puppy’s training and the concentration required. However, you will be kept up to date about your puppy’s progress with the monthly ’pupdates’. Puppy dog sponsorship lasts for 24 months, the same length of time as the training period lasts, and by the time this period has finished you will not only know your puppy extremely well but you’ll also be able to get to know the new guide dog’s owner once it graduates. By doing such a wonderful service, you will be giving a blind person independence and freedom, something to feel really good about.
