Residents are encouraged to come out to a barbecue hosted by the Camrose Swans and Roses Lions Club to be held in front of the Pet Valu Camrose store from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. on May 13. “This is to raise awareness for the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides and Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides dog walk,” said Swans and Roses Lions Club member Lee Kroeger. The Dog Walk itself will be held on May 28 at Stoney Creek Centre beginning at 10 a.m. and all residents, two-legged and four-legged, are welcome to come out and exercise their heart and heels, all the while donating to a good cause. All proceeds from the barbecue and the subsequent Dog Walk go towards supporting Canadians who have a medical or physical disability, with dog guides. “There are six different assistance dogs and this is the biggest and main fundraiser, because the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides is run strictly through donation. There is no government money that comes into it,” explained Kroeger. Anyone who requires a dog guide is given one at no cost despite the $26,000

cost to train and place a dog. “If a person were in need of an assistance dog, they would contact the Foundation (in Ontario) and a representative would be sent to the person in need to evaluate what type of assistance dog is required. Then the person is matched with a dog that is specifically selected for their individual needs,” remarked Kroeger. “I met with a fellow in Lethbridge who was matched with a big chocolate brown poodle. The gentleman is blind and has this poodle because poodles are active and he (the recipient of the dog) is a very fast walker and he also has allergies. So the
Foundation matched him with a poodle. It is quite a procedure.” The organization trains six types of dog guides used to service a wide expanse of people with disabilities. The most commonly used breeds include Labrador retrievers, standard and miniature poodles (effective for people with dog allergies), golden retrievers and some smaller breeds.
