Tama & Zuess (Assistance Dog in Training)
About
16 year old Tama has Intellectual Disability, Autism, and high levels of anxiety.
After our Labrador passed away in 2018 she began having severe anxiety attacks and sensory overloads that mimicked seizures. These occur when she becomes too overwhelmed.
She has attended long term therapy with a speech therapist, OT, specialist psychologist & psychiatrist, however an Assistance Dog would help greatly with her anxiety, stimming and road safety.
When we commenced fundraising in February 2020, we quickly raised enough to bring home Zuess, a chocolate Labrador from Valinka. As of April 2021 he is nearing his PAT test and all money raised is going towards his training.
