Guide Dogs - Breeding Dog Volunteers
Guide Dogs Breeding Dog Volunteers provide a full-time, loving home for one of our guide dog mums and we urgently need to recruit more volunteers to help us raise the next generation of life-changing guide dogs for people with sight loss. This vital volunteer role is perfect for dog-lovers who are looking for a permanent addition to their family. They're specially selected for their ideal temperament and characteristics and have the very best guide dog genes. She will arrive with volunteers socialised and house trained. Most of the time she will be a wonderful, pet dog, then roughly once a year, volunteers also get to enjoy the company of a litter of guide dog puppies for around 7 weeks. We cover all the costs for our guide dog mums, including her food, vet bills and any equipment or bedding she needs. This opportunity is unique to the Midlands as our Breeding Dog Volunteers need to live within an hour's drive of our National Centre, just outside Leamington Spa.

The Guide Dogs centre in Leamington is a state-of-the-art centre - home to their world-class breeding programme. Built in 2011, the centre hosts a team of experts, who help produce life-changing guide dogs. The Association is always looking for volunteers to provide a loving home to mums and puppies, and for their puppy raising and dog-in-training fostering programmes. To promote this they’ve asked us to put up some A4 posters on community noticeboards throughout Leamington, Warwick and Kenilworth. Supermarkets, doctors surgeries, libraries, sports clubs, leisure centres, community centres, vets, cafes - anywhere that can get the word out about their volunteer programmes. We will meet up initially to discuss who will focus on which areas and then organise subsequent sessions to get the posters up.
