Puppy Raisers, B&B Fosterers
& Holiday Cover volunteers
Would you like to volunteer to look after nad help raise one of our trainee autism assistance dogs by either being a full time puppy raiser, a B&B fosterer or providing holiday cover?
Puppy Raisers & B&B Fosterers
We are looking for volunteer puppy parents or fosterers in the Alton (Hampshire) area who:
- Can commit to looking after a puppy for 1 – 2 years
- Have a secure garden
- Will work under the supervision of a Dogs for Autism Trainer and have a visit from them every week
- Will join our puppy class on Tuesday afternoons
- Can spend time each day training and socialising a dog under the guidance of your Trainer
- Will be home for most of the day
- Would love to be part of the exciting journey our trainee assistance dogs take!
Or
- Could provide ‘bed and breakfast’ for a young adult dog for a period of 6 months to a year whilst we prepare them for their next stage of training.
This could be an option if you are out at work, as the dog would come to ‘school’ during the day and be with you for evenings and weekends!
Please apply using the form below or email contact@dogsforautism.org.uk with any questions.
Provide Holiday Cover
We are looking for volunteers to provide holiday cover for our dogs whilst their puppy raisers have their own holiday who:
- Live within a 30 minute drive from Alton (Hampshire)
- Have a secure garden
- Can cover weekends or longer periods normally during half term and school holidays
