Due to huge volume of interest in the caring program, once your application is successful, it now takes up to 20 weeks to be matched with a puppy. Our waitlist is currently open if you would like to apply as carers are still in demand for our future pups.

What is the Puppy Carer program?

A puppy carer looks after a pup for approximately 12 months.

Your role as a carer is to provide a safe space, nurture and socialise the puppy. Seeing Eye Dogs covers all expenses including equipment, food, vet costs, puppy health care and training.

As a carer, you will receive support and guidance from the Seeing Eye Dogs team.
