flag Vision Australia seeks 25 volunteers to raise guide dog puppies in the Hunter region.

flag Vision Australia’s Seeing Eye Dogs program in the Hunter region is seeking 25 volunteer puppy carers to raise puppies from around 13 weeks old until they begin formal training at 12 to 15 months. flag The program breeds over 200 puppies yearly, with successful ones becoming guide dogs for people who are blind or have low vision. flag Carers help socialize puppies by exposing them to public transport, shopping centers, and diverse environments while teaching basic obedience and toilet training. flag Those not suited for guide work may become therapy or support dogs. flag Volunteers receive ongoing support from trainers, including monthly group sessions, and focus on gradual, positive training. flag The role fosters strong bonds but requires emotional resilience when puppies transition to professional roles.
