We would value your help in supporting our pups on their journey to becoming a guide or assistance dog. 

You can help cover the costs of caring for the pup during its first year through our Co-Sponsor a Pup Scheme, or alternatively, foster a pup by becoming a volunteer Puppy Walker.

For just €250 a year (that's less than €5 a week) you can help support a puppy through the first 12 months of his/ her life while he/she is being trained by one of our volunteer puppy walkers.

As a sponsor, we will keep you informed of your pup's progress on it's journey to becoming a guide or assistance dog. We will send you regular updates and photographs of your chosen pup during this period. Read more.

Becoming a puppy walker

Puppy Walking is the term we use to describe the vital process of preparing puppies for their future career as a guide dog or an assistant dog. 

Walkers are individuals or families who agree to take a pup into their home for a period of approximately 12 months, to rear, socialise and educate the puppy in all aspects of everyday life.  The role involves house-training, grooming and basic obedience exercises. Read more.
