Event Details

Avalon is a Labrador Retriever. He and other puppies are trained to help people who are living with disabilities.

Avalon will become a Miracle Assistance Dog and have the same access to public places as a dog that assists the vision impaired. Just as a seeing eye dog provides independence to the vision impaired, the Assistance Dog provides independence to those living with other disabilities.

It costs $30,000 a year to train an Assistance Dog. The Trivia afternoon will help raise funds needed for Avalon and the other puppies to receive the high standard of training needed to provide independence to children and adults with special needs.  

Google the word independence and you can find one definition as "freedom from the control, influence, support, aid, or the like, of others."

Only those living in our communities who are highly dependant on others can truly understand how amazing it feels to ask a dog to remove their shoes, open the door, pass the towel or any of the many other tasks an Assistance Dog does.  

Miracle Assistance Dogs is operated entirely by volunteers and all funds raised go towards the dogs needs. Caring for the dogs and training them is a lot of hard work but it is also a lot of fun.

Most people like to have fun and so do the dogs. So Avalon and a couple of close dog pals will be attending the Trivia afternoon too. You will have a chance to get up close with them and even to cuddle little Digger. He just loves cuddles.

If meeting the dogs isn't a reason to come along then come for the fun.

Lots of other fun and prizes. Seriously! There are prizes, prizes and more prizes. Oh, did I mention that there are even more prizes. There is something for everyone and as it gets closer we will put more information on our Facebook page Assistance Dogs NSW Inc. The prizes are so good that you really should get your tickets early. The lucky door prize alone is enough reason to get your tickets early. This year there is over $5,000 in prizes. Trivia, games, lucky door, raffles and even auctions. There is even a gift on everyone's table from Love 'Em Dog Treats.    

Many people are unaware of exactly what Assistance Dogs can do. The Hearing Assistance Dogs are the ears for the hearing impaired. Other Miracle Assistance Dogs provide Diabetic Alert and help prevent someone from missing the signs that they are dangerously close to lapsing into a diabetic comma. Psychiatric Support Dogs help people with a range of debilitating mental health difficulties including our service personnel and others with PTSD. Did you know that some dogs are trained to track back for someone who has become disoriented and lost?  

Most of us understand that a dog can help someone in a wheelchair. We know the dog can open doors and drawers, push buttons at the traffic lights or in a lift. Did you know they can press a medic alert button, remove shoes and socks and put them away or remove loose clothing? They can even sort the washing, take out the garbage and pick up the kids toys and put them away.

Some dogs remind people to take their medication. An alarm can be set to do that but will the alarm keep reminding the person until they actually take the medication. The dog will also get help if they can't wake the person. 

We deliberately haven't used names and that is to protect the privacy of those recipients. Of course there are also people who are happy to share their stories and we will be sharing some of those with you at the Trivia Afternoon. 

You will meet a beautiful black Australian Labradoodle named Moet. He is being trained to help a 16 year old boy named William who is profoundly deaf, non-verbal and suffers from severe and life threatening seizures. Come along and here his story, have loads of fun and help raise the funds needed to train our a Labrador Retriever named Avalon to support a person with acquired quadriplegia and Azlan who is looking for someone to assist.


Miracle Assistance Dogs train puppies that grow up to provide independence, save lives and create miracles.

We need a lot of help to make these miracles happen. Simply by attending the Trivia Afternoon you will have a lot of fun and be helping us to train more puppies. Puppies that grow up to be Miracle Assistance Dogs and help people to experience greater independence.
