Can you help?
The Nottingham Guide Dogs centre has expanded and is seeking more volunteers to help train the trainee guide dogs. The sight loss charity has opened a bigger dog training centre, located in Phoenix Business Park, near Bulwell.
The charity is seeking more volunteers in Nottingham to help the trainee guide dogs. The volunteers would be a ‘volunteer fosterer’ and would provide the dogs with a temporary home.A volunteer fosterer would look after a trainee guide dog on evenings and weekends. They would need to be able to drop them off on weekday mornings at the centre for training sessions and collect them again each evening.
Graham Kensett, head of canine assisted services for Guide Dogs in the Midlands, said: “We’re very excited to launch our new training facility in Nottingham, which will enable us to train more guide dogs in the city and support more people with sight loss. Now that we have more dogs in the area, we urgently need more volunteers who could look after our four-legged recruits on evenings and weekends when they are taking time out from training.
Volunteer fosterers usually care for dogs between 14 and 24 months of age. The dogs will train to help those with sight loss.
