VOLUNTEERS are needed in the Atherton and Leigh areas to board trainee guide dogs in the evenings and weekends.
Boarders must be willing to have the trainee dog in their home and follow guidelines from the dog’s trainers.
They would also need to drop the dog off at training school in the morning and collect the dog again early in the evening.
The Guide Dogs charity supplies basic equipment and covers all veterinary and feeding expenses.
Handling skills, basic dog first aid and general care and welfare training is also provided as well as support from a team of Guide Dogs staff.
Further information is available by phoning Janet Harper on 0845 372 7409 or email janet.harper@ guidedogs.org.uk.
