Pip McCann, of Queenstown, QSM, for services to the Blind Foundation
Pip McCann has supported the Blind Foundation through voluntarily raising support dogs since 2000. She has raised 10 puppies specifically selected for training as Blind dogs. This role entails a significant investment of time, around 15 months for each puppy, in order to train and raise the dogs to a high standard so that they are able to fulfil their role as a support animal. Mrs McCann has also served as a volunteer fundraiser and organiser for the Red Puppy Appeal in Central Otago since 2013.
