Make a tug. Make a difference.

Calling all volunteers. Join Lions Club of Melbourne Next Gen for an inspiring, hands-on afternoon creating handmade braided dog tug toys. Every toy crafted will be donated to Lions Assistance Dogs, giving vital enrichment to service pups in training as they prepare to support Australians in need.

No sewing skills? No crafting experience? No worries at all. We provide all the materials and simple step-by-step guidance. It is a relaxing, family-friendly way to connect with like-minded community members and create real impact with your own hands.

Why You Should Join Us

Support Life-Changing Service Dogs: Your handcrafted toys go straight to dogs training for essential assistance roles.
Connect With Community: Share an active, uplifting afternoon with friends, family, and fellow volunteers.
Easy and Fun: Suitable for all ages and skill levels—everyone can make a difference.

And this is just the beginning! 🐾
