Smart Pups Assistance Dogs transform the lives of children with special needs across Australia.
Through a highly specialised 12–18 month training program, Smart Pups are carefully prepared to support a child with autism, epilepsy, medical conditions or mobility challenges. These remarkable dogs provide safety, confidence, independence and the unconditional companionship only a dog can give.
Every Smart Pup is trained to qualify for Full Public Access and is matched to meet the specific needs of the child they will support. We train Autism Assistance Dogs, Seizure Response Dogs, Medical Alert Dogs and Mobility Assistance Dogs, each with tailored skills that make daily life safer and more manageable for the entire family.
Training an Assistance Dog costs up to $50,000 per pup, and as a not-for-profit charity we rely on sponsorships and donations to continue this life-changing work. Your support helps us continue our mission of "Changing Lives One Paw At A Time' and bridging the gap for children disabilities.
By supporting Smart Pups, you become part of a community dedicated to empowering children with disabilities. Your kindness helps families feel less alone, strengthens independence, and builds lasting connections between the child, their dog, and their world.
