Ambassador Dogs fulfil a public relations role – they help to spread the word about the im-PAW-tant work of their Guide and Assistance Dog friends at Guide Dogs Tasmania.
Our Ambassador Dogs have the very important job of representing our organisation for education and awareness at workshops and fundraising events. Each Ambassador Dog started life training to be a Guide Dog, Therapy Dog or Autism Assistance Dog, but these friendly and engaging pups have the perfect qualities for the Ambassador Dog role.
Although they do love attention, as with all working dogs, we kindly ask that you talk to their handler before patting or talking to the dog.
To see one of our Ambassador Dogs in action, keep an eye on our social media pages or sign up for our newsletter for event announcements, or talk to our Community Engagement team about workshops and other programs!

Please note that workshops and other Ambassador Dog visits run on a fee for service model.

Some humans call me Mr Cool. I can’t understand why other dogs bark at me… I think they need to relax. I like to walk very slowly. I enjoy wandering down the road behind my handler, just watching the world go by. When I’m in the park I can run like the wind though! People tell me I have gorgeous ears that look like they’ve been dipped in water. I agree. I also love to sleep. I’m really, really good at it.

I love being an Ambassador Dog, seeing all kinds of places around Tasmania. I like to be part of workshops, especially at the end when I can get tummy rubs! I always make sure my handlers remember to stop and smell the roses.

I love being an Ambassador Dog because it means that I can meet lots of different people and make them give me pats and cuddles. I also love visiting different places and then having a long snooze afterwards. I particularly love visiting schools, where I can play with the children love and let them pat my soft fur.
