Guide Dogs Appeals for Puppy Raisers and Fosterers to Support Life-Changing Work
Guide dogs logo
Guide Dogs is calling for more volunteers to help support its life-changing work with people living with sight loss.
The charity is currently seeking individuals who are passionate about dogs and able to offer their time in a variety of rewarding roles, including puppy raising and fostering.
Puppy raisers play a vital part in a guide dog’s journey, welcoming a young puppy into their home for the first 12-16 months and providing the basic training, socialisation and care it needs during its early development.
Training dog fosterers provide invaluable support by welcoming guide dogs in training into their homes during evenings and weekends. While the dogs attend their specialist training during the day.Fosterers offer a calm home environment, routine and care that helps support their development.
No previous experience is required, and full support and training are provided by Guide Dogs. Anyone with a love of dogs, patience, and a willingness to help make a difference is encouraged to consider volunteering.
