  • This could be a good idea for someone whose in a stable home situation, can handle both the responsibility of looking after the pup (its like a baby, you can’t lunch it out at weekends when you go raving, nor drag it along to the squat or field!)

    and also handle the fact that you have to give it back to the unit after a year – but perhaps you may have wanted a dog but want to go travelling worldwide in a years time? (not all countries give pet passports and its not that fair on the dog TBH if it has to travel in cages and crates 🙁 )

    could also be a mutually rewarding idea for all parties

    Dog lovers wanted to help charity
    A charity which trains dogs to help disabled people needs volunteers to look after puppies for them. Dogs for the Disabled, based in Banbury, Oxfordshire, needs people to take care of the young dogs for a year until they are ready to be trained.

    The animals will then be taught tasks such as picking up telephones and opening doors.

    The charity says the work is very rewarding, and previous experience with dogs is not necessary.
