Volunteer opportunities with Guide Dogs
- Puppy Raiser – provide a loving home to a guide dog puppy from when they are about 9 weeks old until they are around 16 to 18 months. Help with their development, training, socialisation and introduce them to new experiences and environments. All costs covered, training given and full support provided.
- Puppy Fosterer – as a Puppy Fosterer you will be providing a puppy with a loving home for a short period of time, which can vary from a week to a month or more. You would reinforce their training, support their social development, introduce them to new environments and experiences.
- Fundraiser – as a fundraising volunteer for Guide Dogs, you’ll be part of a team in your local area that shares stories about what we do and raises vital funds to help people with sight loss live the life they choose. You’ll get to hear inspiring stories, meet incredible people and dogs, and see the difference you’re making firsthand.
