Coffee Morning in aid of Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland
A coffee morning was held recently in aid of the Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland. John Constantine brought along Tilly, a 2 month old puppy who is currently being trained as a 'Task Specific' assistance dog for a child with autism. Tilly now lives with Hilary, who joined us on the day, Tilly will be trained over the next 2 years and if successful will help improve the coping mechanisms of a child with autism who is struggling with their disability. It costs €15,000 and two years to train each dog to the standard that will make a lasting difference to each child. AADI receive no government funding. All money is raised through the kindness and generosity of donors and fundraising events. Quintas were delighted to donate to such a wonderful cause. Pictured below with Tilly are John and Hilary along with Nicola and Don from Quintas.
