Joanie
Geelong’s Third Space also supports Vision Australia Seeing Eye Dogs (https://sed.visionaustralia.org). Vision Australia Seeing Eye Dogs act as guides for Australians who are blind or have low vision. They open up a world of independence, safety and freedom for clients to participate in all areas of life. It takes up to 12-15 months to raise a pup who will one day go on to change the life of a person who is blind or has low vision.
About Joanie
Joanie is a Labrador x Golden Retriever at the start of her Seeing Eye Dog Training Journey. As part of her training, Joanie currently accompanies Denise to Geelong’s Third Space. Once at work, Joanie’s job is to stay quietly in her cage and learn to ignore the things that are going on around her. While most of us would be delighted to have work time that involves lying quietly in bed, this is not the easiest part of a puppy’s day. She would like everybody to ignore her presence so that she can concentrate on getting this right!
Her areas of expertise are: unfettered joy; sleeping; puppy ping-pong and speed eating (she is a Labrador after all).
If Joanie’s presence raises any concerns for you, please feel free to call and discuss this with us.
