PUPPY walking volunteers are needed in the Winchester area.

Guide Dogs want people to help look after a puppy in their own home for a year.

Puppy walking is a crucial volunteering role which prepares guide dog puppies for their working life by familiarising them with different environments including the home, towns and public transport.

Volunteer Puppy Walkers provide the full-time care and education of a puppy from seven weeks of age until they are between 12 and 14 months old.

The puppies will go on to help people with sight loss, and to help call the Guide Dogs Southampton office on 0845 372 7428 or email Hazel on hazel.dyson@guidedogs.org.uk.
