As a Puppy Raiser for Guide Dogs you will provide a puppy with a vital foundation for its future role as a guide dog. This is a full-time volunteering opportunity as a puppy will live with you in your home for around 12-16 months. “It’s so rewarding to know that the dog will go on to help people with sight loss gain independence and freedom.” – Chris, Puppy Raiser Becoming a puppy raiser is a role unique to Guide Dogs. It's time intensive and suits homes where individuals, couples or family members can ensure that one of our precious puppies is looked after 24/7 - from 8 weeks old for around 14 months, so they have the necessary skills to become a future guide dog. It’s a challenging role but the sense of accomplishment is indescribable. In this role, individuals or households will ‘guide’ their puppy throughout their formative years, so they’re generally trained and well socialised - at home, outside, and in various situations - so they can learn and adapt to different environments.
