Homes needed for puppy recruits

A charity is looking for 30 volunteers to offer a home to puppies for the first year of their lives.

Dogs for the Disabled said the "puppy socialisers" will teach the dogs basic skills before they go on to to further training at their new centre at Atherton.

The charity, established in 1988, also has centres in Bristol and Nostell, near Wakefield and has trained over 660 assistance dogs.
