Do you live in or around Edinburgh? Guide Dogs Scotland are looking to recruit new volunteer puppy raisers in this area.

At this recruitment/information event, attendees can meet staff, volunteers, a guide dog owner and a puppy, and find out what’s really involved with raising a future life-changing guide dog.

Volunteer puppy raisers provide a puppy with the vital foundation for its future role. You'll be looking after a puppy for 12-16 months and will guide him or her through training, socialisation, the introduction of new environments and experiences whilst providing a loving home.

Lynsey Anderson-Fell, Puppy Development Advisors for Guide Dogs, said: “We’re really looking forward to welcoming new volunteer puppy raisers to our guide dog family.

“This is an opportunity to find out more about what’s involved with raising a guide dog puppy.

“Please come along and meet our fantastic local team of staff and volunteers and guide dog owners to find out first-hand how you can change people’s lives.”

If you plan to attend, please let us know by emailing Lynsey.Anderson-Fell@guidedogs.org.uk or sending a message to Guide Dogs Scotland on Facebook.

Please note: Pet dogs are not permitted at this event.

Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
