A leading cancer charity is asking for volunteers in Bicester to help socialise their cancer-detection puppies.
Medical Detection Dogs, a charity that “trains dogs to detect the odour of human disease with the aim of developing faster, more efficient and less invasive diagnostics” is calling for people in Bicester to become ‘puppy socialisers’.
A spokesperson for Medical Detection Dogs said: “We need socialisers within travelling distance of our centre, in Milton Keynes.

“We provide food and equipment for the puppy and cover all veterinary costs.
“We ask that volunteers can attend regular local puppy classes, be at home most of the day and follow positive dog training methods.
“It would also be great if volunteers regularly visit lots of different environments and use various forms of transport to socialise a puppy, as well as be willing to support charity events.”
