Guide dog adoption programme

Sometimes guide dogs need a change of career. Usually this is because they retire from working as a guide dog for health reasons or through old age. Younger dogs may be withdrawn from the training programme if they are not suitable to work as guide dogs.

This is when the dogs are placed in new, permanent homes where they will be well looked after and thought of as one of the family. With the right home environment, these dogs can make wonderful pets.
