We are looking for volunteers to foster our hearing dog mums. Could you help us create and nurture the next generation of hearing dogs?
As a brood fosterer you will:
- Provide a loving, full-time home for a hearing dog mum.
- Care for, support and nurture each litter* until they are 8 weeks old.
- Attend all necessary vet checks, appointments, and matings
- Be present during the birth—with full support from a Puppy Supply Coordinator
- Play a vital role in the early development of life-changing hearing dogs
- Receive full guidance from our expert team throughout
- Be provided with all food, bedding, whelping and puppy equipment
- Have all medical costs, grooming, and insurance covered
We require the following:
- You must live within 45 minutes of our National Breeding Centre in Saunderton, Buckinghamshire (HP27 9NS)
- A safe, secure garden with direct access from the home
- A suitable indoor space for whelping and raising a litter (whelping boxes can measure up to 4ft x 4ft)
- Availability to be at home most of the day (puppies can't be left for more than one hour)
- Lots of time, love, and a calm environment—no previous experience needed.
For more information or to apply, please go to our website.
* our hearing dog mums never have more than 4 litters in their lifetime.
