8-week old puppy Jackie arrived in #Cheshire this month!. Jackie's Mum, Erica, was raised by the same puppy raisers - so it was special for them to welcome their previous pups' daughter 💕 . Puppy Duke, who was on holiday with the puppy raisers, got to welcome Jackie too!

Our dogs in training are learning how to be life-changers, and one day they will be matched with someone with sight loss. You could be a part of their journey 🐾. Fosterers provide a home for trainee dogs, and drop them off and pick them up from "school":

You may remember Douglas, who featured on @itvborder back in April when he arrived in #Carlisle to meet his volunteer family!. Douglas is now 4-months old, he's had his off-lead run and even visited the supermarket for the first time in Dalston 💛 .
