We are looking for volunteers to provide a loving home and help us prepare our puppies over their first 14-18 months of life before they begin full time training as life-changing support dog. 

We have a few important criteria for becoming a Puppy Socialiser (detailed in the links below)

Two of the key requirements are: 

  • Living within an hour’s drive of our Sheffield training centre, so you can easily attend training and support sessions
  • Having enough time to dedicate to raising a puppy, including attending regular puppy classes and being at home for most of the day to support their development

As a puppy socialiser you will play a vital role in our puppies' formative years, caring for a puppy in your home and providing them with the socialisation and training they need. This is a unique opportunity to not only care for a lovely dog but also to make a significant contribution in changing the lives of people affected by autism, epilepsy and disability. 

If you have any questions regarding this role or volunteering with us please contact [email protected]
