HOW dogs unleash life: Mobility dogs are trained to:

  • activate pedestrian crossing and elevator buttons
  • assist with transfers to/from a wheelchair
  • retrieve dropped items - eg car keys, pens, credit cards 
  • fetch items - eg phones, remote controls, books
  • open doors
  • turn lights on & off 

    and much more. Find out more about our dogs, and read some stories about our working teams.

    How YOU can help unleash life
    Mobility Dogs receives NO government funding. It costs $25,000 to raise, train and match a mobility dog.
