Guide Dogs WA

🐾 South West locals — could you help a puppy take their first steps towards changing someone's life?

We urgently need volunteer Puppy Raisers from Busselton to Margaret River and surrounding communities, with puppies and older dogs needing homes over the next two months.

By providing a safe, loving home, you'll help a future Guide or Assistance Dog develop the confidence, good manners and everyday experiences they need for their future role. 💛

You don't need to be a dog-training expert. Our team in Busselton, supported by our Perth team, will guide you throughout the puppy raising journey.

We're looking for homes for:
🐶 Young puppies from around eight weeks old.
🐕 Older puppies and dogs in training from around six months old.

Some older puppies may be suitable to accompany you to a dog-friendly workplace, so working doesn't necessarily rule you out!

Whether you're an individual, couple or family, we'd love to chat about what's involved.
