On 2025-07-08 16:21:00, the BCG emphasized how simple and rewarding the experience can be. Miek Uyttendaele from the centre explained that volunteers only need to spend quality time with the dogs, providing them a calm weekend break. Could this be the perfect way to support an important cause while enjoying some canine company?
If you’ve ever wondered how you can contribute to the community without a big commitment, hosting a guide dog trainee might be the answer. Here’s what you need to know before getting involved.
Why is this initiative important? Guide dogs undergo intense training, and downtime helps them stay balanced and effective. Hosting a dog for a weekend can:
- Provide essential rest and socialization for the dogs
- Allow volunteers to experience the role of a guide dog companion
- Strengthen community involvement in supporting people with disabilities
Could you offer a weekend of your time to help these dogs relax? By volunteering, you support the development of future guide dogs and contribute to a more inclusive society. Reach out to the BCG today and discover how simple acts can make a big difference.
