Petbarn Dubbo Store Manager, Renay Armstrong, says they're extremely grateful to everybody that donated.
"We know 2020 has been a challenging year for so many people, yet our customers continue to amaze us with their generosity," she said.
"The money raised will go towards helping Australians who are blind or have low vision retain their independence and mobility.
"Thanks to our local Dubbo customers, 15 Seeing Eye Dogs puppies will be trained to provide companionship and special assistance to people who need it most."
Royal Canin, one of the Petbarn Foundation's key partners, also donated $50,000 towards the fundraiser and Vision Australia's first-ever "Seeing Eye Dogs Puppy Games" also helped to raise awareness and donations.
