Lions Clubs Make a Lasting Impact
Lions Clubs across Canada are important supporters, fundraisers and promoters of Dog Guides. Your efforts help us to continue to provide Dog Guides at no cost to Canadians living with disabilities.
Behind Dog Guides from the Start
In the early 1980’s Lions Clubs across Canada sought to develop a national project to reflect their service to Canadians with visual impairments. The result was Lions Foundation of Canada and its founding program, Canine Vision Canada, which was established in 1985. Now we offer Dog Guides in seven different programs.
Lions Clubs across Canada contribute as much as 20% of the foundation’s annual revenue. With no government funding, and each Dog Guide costing $35,000 to breed, raise, train and match, this support is critical.
One night everyone was sleeping when I had a seizure. Ross was sleeping too next to me, he alerted my parents by barking, he didn’t stop until I was okay. After my seizure Ross and I stayed awake hugging each other until my headache stopped and we both fell asleep.

Vesper has made every single day of my life easier since we met. She catches my lows earlier than my technology does, and in doing so saves me from days of rollercoaster blood sugars. She makes exploring the world more fun and less worrisome.
