The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association is appealing for puppy walkers in Blackpool, Kirkham, Lytham St Anne's and Poulton le Fylde.
Volunteers are needed for the full-time care and education of the guide dog pups from six weeks until approximately 12 to 14 months of age, when they are returned to the charity to begin specialised guide dog training.
Lisa Williams, Guide Dogs' puppy walking supervisor explains: "We're looking for enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers who can care for the pups full-time because at the end of the day, if we don't have puppy walkers we don't have guide dogs.
"Puppy walking is challenging and it is a real commitment to take a puppy in to your home for a year but with the support of Guide Dogs staff, our volunteers find it extremely rewarding and worthwhile."
If you would like to request more information about volunteering for the charity as a puppy walker, please call Guide Dogs' on 0845 371 7771 or email volunteer@guidedogs.org.uk You can also visit www.guidedogs.org.uk/puppywalking.
