‘Super pup’ needs a name

Discount Drug Stores is calling on the community to help name a new puppy for Assistance Dogs Australia.

The puppy is the twelfth assistance dog that Discount Drug Stores has sponsored for Assistance Dogs Australia, having raised more than $300,000 for the charity across its 131 stores nationally including its Cranbourne East Hunt Club store.

Carefully selected for his calm and affectionate temperament, the adorable black labrador now needs a name before he can begin a two-year training journey to become a fully qualified Assistance Dog.

Starting on his ‘L-plates’, the ‘Super Pup’ will spend his first 12-14 months with a volunteer puppy educator who will provide him with a loving home and teach him the basic skills to become a confident and well-socialised dog.

He will then move into higher level training at the National Training School in Sydney, before moving to his life-long home where he will provide the ultimate companionship to an individual or family living with disability.

To get involved in the competition and for your chance to win a $250 Visa Card Voucher – and name this clever pooch – visit Discount Drug Store website: www.discountdrugstores.com.au/name-our-puppy-2021
