🐾 Foster a Puppy. Change a Life. 🐾
Have you ever thought about volunteering in a way that truly makes a difference?
As we celebrate our 50th anniversary here at Irish Guide Dogs, we’re looking for Puppy Raisers to welcome a future Guide, Assistance, or Community Dog into their home and help them through their early training journey. 💚
As a Puppy Raiser, you’ll care for a puppy from around 9 weeks to 14 months old — helping them learn basic obedience, social skills, and confidence, all the while knowing they could one day bring independence and life-changing support to someone who is blind, vision impaired, or a family of a child with autism.
You won’t be doing it alone:
✅ Full training and ongoing guidance
✅ Food, veterinary care & essential equipment provided
✅ 24/7 support from our puppy raising team
✅ A welcoming community of fellow volunteers in your area
No dog training experience needed — just time, commitment, and plenty of love!
It starts with one small act of kindness… and one puppy!
