One of Guide Dogs SA's longest-serving Puppy Raiser and Home Boarder Volunteer more...

Claire has opened up her home to more than 60 dogs, either as a Puppy Raiser or a short term boarder, and some on multiple occasions. (click here for a list)

here are Claire's "Brag Pics" ...

Claire's first puppy Panda became a Guide Dog in Darwin and Claire kept in contact with her through Panda's blind handler. When Panda retired from service Panda came home to Claire to be cared for until her last days, which sadly occurred after an all-too-short time.

As well as volunteering, Claire's generosity of spirit provided many regular donations over the years from herself and on behalf of family members. Her most recent donation for Guide Dogs enabled the establishment of a memorial plaque in Buddy's Garden to honour the magnificent Guide Dogs who have passed away.

            Panda's plaque was the first to be placed. (click here for Claire's Memorial speech)
