edmontonsun.com - Alberta - Guide-dog charity hopes for funding

edmontonsun.com - Alberta - Guide-dog charity hopes for funding: "Staff at a cash-strapped charity that trains guide dogs for the blind and disabled say they have a meeting scheduled for Monday morning with Alberta Gaming officials to discuss emergency funding.
'It sounds very good. They're bringing some application forms and we're just going to talk and see what we might qualify for,' said Elisa Irlam, founder and director of training at the Western Guide and Assistance Dog Society.
The society has 20 dogs-in-training, a new litter on the way and a waiting list of 15 clients. But all that is in jeopardy if the group can't scrape up enough cash to remain in operation. "
