Who this task will support
Guide Dogs - Breeding Dog Volunteers
Guide Dogs Breeding Dog Volunteers provide a full-time, loving home for one of our guide dog mums and we urgently need to recruit more volunteers to help us raise the next generation of life-changing guide dogs for people with sight loss. This vital volunteer role is perfect for dog-lovers who are looking for a permanent addition to their family. They're specially selected for their ideal temperament and characteristics and have the very best guide dog genes. She will arrive with volunteers socialised and house trained. Most of the time she will be a wonderful, pet dog, then roughly once a year, volunteers also get to enjoy the company of a litter of guide dog puppies for around 7 weeks. We cover all the costs for our guide dog mums, including her food, vet bills and any equipment or bedding she needs. This opportunity is unique to the Midlands as our Breeding Dog Volunteers need to live within an hour's drive of our National Centre, just outside Leamington Spa.

Guide Doge would be very grateful for some help in distributing posters about their Breeding Dog Volunteer program to raise awareness in the area.

This task involves visiting organisations around Leamington Spa that have community notice boards (supermarkets, veterinary practices, doctors surgeries, libraries, cafes, leisure centres, etc) and requesting them to put up 2 x guide dog posters.

Route 2 - organisations to be visited: Lisle Court Medical Centre Whitnash Community Hall Whitnash Medical Centre Avonvale Vets in Heathcote, Leamington Spa Whitnash Library Leamington Country Golf Club

After checking the opening hours for these organisations, the most optimum time for visiting is a weekday late morning. The time listed below is suggested only and can be decided upon by the individual(s) taking part. I will get the posters to you in advance of the poster drop. Details of the organisations can be found here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vRuClvrF_LTs-3TRzPL9_8ln_uzAijUBdfBLWYg87eA/edit?usp=sharing.
