IT TAKES A VILLAGE
Volunteer with us
As a volunteer, you play a vital part in the journey of a future Assistance Dog. Whether you’re caring for a puppy full time, short-term, or providing weekend support, you help socialise and guide these incredible dogs through life’s experiences.
Your time with them, teaching basic skills, practising house manners, and exposing them to everyday environments, lays the foundation for their training and prepares them to become life-changing support for someone with a physical disability, autism or PTSD.
Full Time Puppy Volunteer
As a Puppy Volunteer, you’ll welcome a future Assistance Dog into your home, guiding them through their early months with love, training and socialisation, helping lay the foundation for their life-changing role
Puppy Carer
Puppy Carers provide short-term care for pups in training, ensuring consistency and support while giving Full Time Puppy Volunteers a well-earned break.
Even a few days with you helps shape a future Assistance Dog.
Weekend Volunteer
Weekend Volunteers give dogs in Advanced Training a home away from training, offering rest, play, and practice of house manners to support their journey to becoming life-changing Assistance Dogs.
Other Volunteering Options
If fostering a puppy isn’t the right fit, you can still get involved.
From time to time, we offer other rewarding volunteer opportunities where your time and skills can make a real difference. Get in touch to find out more.

- Place Assistance Dogs with people with disabilities – free of charge.
- Provide a lifetime of support.
- Maintain the highest standards of training.
Together, we can change lives – one dog at a time.
