    I’ve got so much admiration for you guys. I’m pretty sure that having to hand them back must really difficult. My Golden Retriever (age 13) had to be put to sleep just before Christmas…..devastating. I’ve recently applied to re-home a ‘failed’ guide dog as I want, in a small way, to give one of these lovely dogs a home for the rest of their life. Keep up the good work, you do an amazing job. Take care 🥰

    Respect to people who do this I’d love to do it but honestly don’t have the patience the dog requires.

    I sponsor a dog, I think I'm on doggy 5 now!! I absolutely could not be a puppy walker/raiser because they simply wouldn't be given back!!! I know they do a fantastic job but it must be sad for the dogs when they leave too, their humans have suddenly been taken away from them and how do you explain that to a young dog...you can't!! Anyone involved with raising these beautiful dogs are amazing!! I'll stick to sponsoring thank you...less emotional or hands on!!! Nope, I'd just want to keep them all !!!

      Our puppy raisers and sponsors are incredible people and we can't thank them enough. There is great satisfaction in knowing you are supporting people with sight loss to live actively, independently, and well. ❤️

    I sponsor a guide dog. About a pound a week not a lot to give someone their independence.

    Do you find that its heart wrenching for you to leave her and also for her as well. The puppy gets used to you and loves you and then you leave it with someone else. It must be so sad for the dog. I know it's a good cause and sorry if I offend but itsnt it about time there is something 21st century that could used instead. ? All the guide dogs i have seen look fed up.
