Sponsor A Guide Dog

SAGA trains on average 65 guide dogs per annum for the blind and visually impaired. The process is human intensive and our guide dogs are trained over and 18 month period. The first phase is spent with their "Puppy Raisers", dedicated families and individuals who "adopt" a young guide dog puppy for 12 months. Thereafter the young guide dog in training returns to the SAGA centre and is allocated to a qualified guide dog mobility instructor who will formally train the dog for a further 6 months until it is allocated to a blind recipient.

Costs are incurred during this period and SAGA appeals to potential donor and sponsors to consider sponsoring a guide dog in the following two options:

Sponsor a puppy for R3500

Sponsor a full guide dog for R10000

SAGA only charges R5 per guide dog and R100 board and lodging when the blind person/s attend training with their new companions here at the training centre for three weeks!

The costs is far more than the R10000 sponsorship amount however it is a manageable amount for individual donors, groups and or companies - so we encourage you to sponsor your guide dog today!

You will receive a section 18 a receipt as well as a framed photo of your sponsored puppy or guide dog. As a sponsor you will also be invited to attend our graduation ceremonies which are truly inspirational and definitely an event not to be missed.

On completion of the form below a SAGA representative will contact you to discuss your needs and tailor make a sponsorship package that suits you.
