Petition Opposing the Service Animal Standards

As the service animal standards are proceeding to development, GDUC is continuing to push back against them. This time we've created a Petition on change.org. Please support our effortt and tell the Canadian Foundation for Animal-Assisted Support Services and the Human Research Standards Organization that guide and service dog handlers neither need nor want the undue interference in our lives that the standards represent. We also encourage you to promote the petition by sharing it any way you can. Post it, email it, tweet it, text it, and generally talk it up - anything you're willing to do will help us make a difference.

How to Help GDUC

Guide dog teams across Canada need your help! Your gift provides needed medical services to guide dogs nationwide, allows us to subsidize our annual conferences, increases peer support opportunities for guide dog handlers, facilitates public education programs, and enables advocacy initiatives throughout the country. With your help, GDUC can continue to improve the lives of guide dogs and their handlers!

Our 2019 Financial Statements are available to give you an idea of how much money we bring in, and what it costs to operate the organization on an annual basis.
