Guide Dogs Cymru seek volunteer puppy raisers

Guide dog breeding and training was halted during the pandemic, leading to a shortage of dogs for people who need them. Now Guide Dogs is looking for volunteer puppy raisers (formerly called puppy walkers) and there are opportunities in many parts of Wales.

You can find out more about what it takes to be a puppy raiser in a report on the BBC News website.

For full details and to express an interest, visit the 'Volunteering' section of Guide Dogs website, enter you postcode and then look at 'puppy raiser'. There are currently opportunities in many parts of Wales, including Wrexham, Swansea, Abergavenny, Cardiff and Cwmbran.
