(Alan Rivett photo) of the Mississauga Lions Clubs for the Lions visit Oakville Centre • from page 1 from six to 12 students per session. The students, before they are accepted to the training centre, undergo a screening process to discover their suitability for a seeing -eye dog. The prospective students are visited by one of the three trainers on staff, with a degree of personal mobility being one of the main factors for entrance into the centre. The CNIB and other agen- cies also make refferals to the centre. However, it's not cheap to operate a cen- tre such as this. The cost per team (stu- dent' and jiog) for the four week period is $6,000 ich includes' all transporation costs for the student. Over $400,000 is need- ed every year with one-quarter of the funds provided by the Lions Foundation with the remainder made up by corporate sponsorship, says Mr. Astles, adding that the Purina Company is one of the biggest sponsors, not only providing financial help, but also providing all the pet food to the centre free of charge. Karen Winter2 a dog trainer at the centre for the past year, said the centre only uses three breeds of dogs - the German Shepherd, _ Labrador and the Golden Retriever - as they possess the right size and temperment as well as a willingness to learn. The puppies are given to the centre by Limited quantities. No rain checks. S.M. BAUMAN Steel Fence Post 7'o x 48 5242604.10 UNIVA1.

The pups, which arrive at 8 to 10 weeks old, are placed into "foster homes” for up to a year to become socialized. While some families who take the foster dogs do become attached to them, Ms. Winter says the foster families are glad to help the centre. "For the foster family, they know the dog has to be returned, but it's a great feel- ing of satisfaction for them. Besides, they can always get another foster dog," -she said. When the dogs are returned to the centre after a year, they are kept in quarantine. for 12 to 14 days to ensure no diseases are spread to other dogs in the kennel. Soon after, a physical assessment of the hips and eyes is done on the dogs to ensure they are physically able to be leader dogs. Preliminary training is then started with the dogs taken out onto the streets by the trainers to ensure the dogs are not shy of traffic noises, etc. The students are then introduced to the dogs. The pairings are done by size and Turn to page 13 • The Man -To See Is M9NTEE & CO. LIMITS, 11 • I.
