We are a passionate bunch that believes dogs can make a profound difference to the lives of those suffering from PTSD.
We have seen the results that our programme has had and we are keen to be able to replicate our success in Essex. We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers who love dogs and appreciate Veterans to help us change lives for the better, two at a time!
The programme is full of positivity, fun and learning, our fosters get the satisfaction of seeing the dogs in their care go on to do extraordinary things for their Veteran and are a major part of this journey.
We provide all training, support and expenses and we look forward to welcoming volunteers into our friendly team.
We have FAQ and further information on our website: www.servicedogsuk.org
Skills
We need loving homes where our dogs can relax and and enjoy life before they are matched with the right Veteran.
Ideally you will have some dog experience but we will provide all the guidance and support you need to make this a pleasurable and enjoyable experience.
Ideally, you will be able to
come to training at least once a week (Tuesday and Saturday mornings in Chelmsford)
but we are also looking for people to cover holidays and other commitments so
please still apply!
