There are times when we may need some short-term cover for our puppies and dogs. It could be a Puppy Parent or full-time fosterer is going on holiday or attending an event that is not suitable for a dog. Sometimes we would like our dogs to experience a different lifestyle, like living with another dog in the house or with children.
In these situations, we would use one of our part time volunteers. We still expect their basic training to continue but it is not necessary to attend classes.
Holiday cover could be anything from the odd day here and there to weekend breaks up to a maximum of up to 4 weeks cover. To find out more about the stages of training click here.
Part time Volunteer Criteria:
- Be prepared to follow Hounds for Heroes training plan whilst the dog is with you.
- Preferably live within a 25-mile radius of Petersfield – reasonable travelling expenses are paid
- Be at home most of the day as some of our younger dogs can only be left for very short periods of time.
- Be able to do some pick-ups and drop offs at the training centre.
- Have access to a car to attend vet visits
- Have no more than 2 dogs that live with you or visit on a regular basis
- Have time to provide socialisation activities, exercise and training as advised by a trainer
- Have a fully fenced/secure dog friendly garden
