What a busy year!!

How quick has the year gone? We have been so incredibly busy all year and it just doesn't seem like the six or seven months left will be enough to get all the things we want to achieve done. It has been a productive year so far, but there is still so much to achieve.

We have a number of guide dogs that have finished training and some that have been placed. One of our guide dogs has been placed on Flinders Island and another on King Island. Over the coming weeks, we will see another dog placed in Hobart and another in the Launceston area.

Our Guide Dog Mobility Instructor, Kim has recently graduate and has been doing a fantastic job with puppies, dogs in training and providing services to our clients around the state.

Well done to the team for the year so far!!!
