As part of Assistance Dogs Australia’s Operations crew, fundraising is not our usual gig, but we are stepping up and giving it a red-hot go because this project truly matters to us.

This Giving Day, we are raising funds to build two purpose‑designed Birthing Suites at our Orchard Hills facility. These suites will provide our brood mums and their puppies with a safe, calm space, helping our future Assistance Dogs get the strongest possible start to life.

To us, this isn’t just a building project. It’s the beginning of the entire Assistance Dog journey. Stronger beginnings mean healthier pups, smoother early learning, and ultimately more dogs graduating to support people with physical disabilities, autism, and PTSD. When we strengthen the start of the pipeline, we strengthen the impact at the end, where a trained dog becomes a partner in someone’s independence, confidence, and daily life.

Thanks to some very generous supporters who believe in this project as much as we do, every donation made to our page will be doubled!

Thank you for backing a project that starts at the very beginning and ends with life‑changing impact!

From all of us - Belynda, Ching, Chris, Claudia, Ellen, Georgia, Jamila, Jane, Jhaneen, John-Paul, Lizzy, Mel, Naomi, Paige & Tashi 🐾🖤
