Help Us Donate To Guide Dogs
Kleenex®Cottonelle® is proud to have a long standing relationship with Guide Dogs Australia and The Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind. Each year we raise money and awareness to help train more puppies to become Guide Dogs, ultimately enriching the lives of people with vision impairment.
This year in Australia, on top of our ongoing support, Kleenex®Cottonelle® will be sponsoring one very special male Labrador puppy as he undertakes a two year training program to hopefully become a fully-fledged Guide Dog.
