From the BBC:
“Loving homes sought for guide
dog puppies in Coventry and Warwickshire”
(Puppies at the Guide Dogs
National Breeding Centre)
The dogs live with puppy raisers
for 12 to 16 months. The Guide Dogs charity is appealing for people to provide
a home for puppies which will be trained to help people with sight loss. Graham
Kensett, from the charity, said they were looking for puppy raisers in the
Coventry and Warwickshire area. "All we are asking for is just a wonderful,
loving home to bring up our pups for that first year," he said. Guide
Dogs, which has a training centre in Leamington Spa, said raisers provide a
vital foundation for the dogs' role. They help teach the puppies basic commands
ahead of their training during what is described as a full-time role.
(The centre recently showed off
these puppies which were part of the largest litter the charity has had in 60
years of breeding dogs)
Mr Kennsett added: "We are
dependent upon people to support us in this area so that we can continue to
provide the dogs for people with sight loss." Last week, the centre showed
off 16 pups who were born at the Guide Dogs National Centre and who were going
to go to foster homes before training.
^ These dogs are both cute and
help others. Hopefully they will get the homes they need so they can be
trained. ^
