Description
On this episode of the Seeing Eye Dogs Show, Harriet is joined by two guests. Dr Ashe Mooney from Seeing Eye Dogs Vet Team joins us talking about World Vet Day which was on April 27, 2024. We talk about the role of a vet, how you can help get the best vet appointment, the challenges of mental health in the industry and the importance of kindness to your vet. Casey Hyde puppy carer and volunteer in our kennels joins us talking about volunteering as someone who is legally blind. Casey is a dog guide handler, and talks about how her lived experience and volunteering impact and benefit each other. She shares her experiences of how volunteering can be inclusive, and encourages others to get involved. If you'd like to find out more about Seeing Eye Dogs head to our website: https://sed.visionaustralia.org/ We are looking for puppy carers now so if you're keen to raise a puppy to hopefully become a Seeing Eye Dog we'd like to hear from you! It's an incredibly rewarding experience, with training provided. Carers need time, patience and love to give to a puppy, so if you want to commit to a year of puppy raising, we would love your help. Get in touch to find out about volunteering with us or apply now via our website. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
