Four-legged employees from charity Guide Dogs will be taking control of the Royal Priors shopping center this weekend, as part of The Big Help Out effort.
Dogs, staff and volunteers from the sight loss organisation will be on the upper flooring of the centre on Saturday 13th of May from 9.30am to 5.30pm.
The charity is trying to find more volunteers who might offer short-lived houses to their guide dog puppies and guide dogs in training and irreversible houses to their guide dog mums.
Verity O’Donnell, Volunteering Coordinator for Guide Dogs in Warwickshire, said: “We’ll have a team of staff and volunteers at The Royal Priors this Saturday.
“They’ll be joined by some of our life-changing dogs, including guide dog puppies at the start of their journey and guide dog mums, who bring litters of future guide dogs into the world.
“We’ve got lots of volunteering roles which give you the opportunity to have one of our dogs living with you, with all costs covered, as well as other roles supporting our other services.
“Come along and meet us and find out how you can get involved.”
