Wilma is being raised and trained to provide life-changing independence to someone with a physical disability other than visual impairment or to work with a professional such as a teacher, psychologist or victim services worker to help support a healthy community.
In August, 2023, Wilma took the next step in her journey and entered Advanced Training where sheβll learn the skills needed to support her future partner.
After careful consideration, Wilma has been released from the Advanced Training Program. She has decided that the pet life is for her, and she will hopefully be settling into a new home shortly. We hope that she enjoys the pet life! Thanks to everyone who had a part in Wilma’s journey. All the best to you, Wilma!
