- A loving home with a secure garden.
- Access to a car, to support with any appointments needed for the guide dog mum.
- Live within an hour’s drive of the National Centre in Leamington Spa.

If you have questions about the training requirements, we can answer these at your interview along with any other support or accessibility needs you may have.
Volunteering for Guide Dogs should never leave you out of pocket. We’ll make sure we pay any pre-agreed expenses related to the litter or your volunteering with us, including veterinary costs, food costs or any specialist breeding equipment. All you may need to buy is a bed and grooming equipment.
