Dog-lovers sought by charity

DOG-LOVERS in the Worthing area are being sought by national charity Canine Partners to take puppies into their homes and begin their early training to be assistance dogs for people with disabilities.

The charity is specifically looking for volunteers, known as puppy parents, who can take a puppy into their home from the age of eight weeks until they are 12-14 months old.

Puppy satellite supervisor Ronnie Paskouis said: “Volunteering as a puppy parent is a rewarding opportunity for people who live in and around Worthing. Puppy parents train puppies in the early stages of their development before they go on to advanced training and are matched with someone who has a disability.
