Ladner-based BC & Alberta Guide Dogs needs boarding homes for dogs that are in advanced training and must live close to the organization’s offices.

Volunteers board an adult dog (already house-trained) for around a five-month period, providing a loving home for the dog on evenings and weekends. Staff members will pick up the dog for training around 9 a.m. and drop the dog off around 4 p.m. (Monday to Friday only).

BC & Alberta Guide Dogs provides food, vet care and other basic necessities for the dog.

Potential boarders must:

• Live in Ladner or Tsawwassen.
• Be at home during the day or able to take the dog with you (best suited to retirees or at-home workers).
• Provide a dog-friendly home with a secure outdoor space (e.g. fenced yard).
• Follow guidelines for training and caring.

If you live in Ladner or Tsawwassen and are interested in boarding a dog — or know someone who might be — contact 604-940-4504 or [email protected].
