On this episode of the show, Harriet is joined by Seeing Eye Dogs Volunteer Partnerships Coordinator Liv Butcher, and first-time puppy carers Sharon & Scott Johnson.

In recognition of National Volunteer Week, Liv joins us to talk about the work our 1000+ volunteers do across Seeing Eye Dogs, the amazing contribution of our volunteers and thanks our volunteers for the work they do.

Sharon & Scott join us to share their story and experiences as first-time puppy carers in NSW caring for Seeing Eye Dog puppy Weasley. They talk about puppy caring as a family and the variety of experiences they and Weasley had together during the program.

We are looking for puppy carers now so if you're keen to raise a puppy to hopefully become a Seeing Eye Dog we'd like to hear from you! It's an incredibly rewarding experience, with training provided. Carers need time, patience and love to give to a puppy, so if you want to commit to a year of puppy raising, we would love your help. We're looking for carers now in parts of Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales listed on our website. Get in touch to find out about volunteering with us or apply now via our website.
