TY Go To The Dogs!! 🦮🐾🐕‍🦺

A TY Group have spent the week undertaking the Guide Dogs TY Programme which culminated today with an on-site visit. They were given a guided tour of the facility by our volunteer guide Finbarr. They were shown the puppy training facility but unfortunately were not able to handle the puppies!! (strict quarantine rules apply). They were also shown the Sensory Garden, the accommodation used by clients and dogs to bond over two weeks, as well as the “Holiday Zone” for the working dogs that need, as Finbarr put it, “timeout to just be dogs”.

It was fantastic to see how it all works. Now the group will turn their attention to fundraising as Guide Dogs Ireland need to raise €3.8 million of its €5 million operating costs every year. Our TY students were inspired to want to make a contribution towards this worthy cause 🦮🐕‍🦺🐾
