City of Casey Volunteer Matcher

The Seeing Eye Dogs - Puppy Caring program needs volunteers to care for a puppy in their home from the age of 8 weeks, until they are approximately 12-15 months of age.

Carers teach, under the guidance of a puppy development officer, basic obedience, house manners, eating and toileting on command, socialisation in many different places (restaurants, cinemas, cafes, shopping centres, supermarkets etc) and to walk on lead in a relaxed manner.

Carers are visited regularly at home by their puppy development officer to provide guidance in training and caring for their puppy.  SEDA holds a training day that the carer and puppy are required to attend to once a month.

Puppy caring is a very rewarding experience and our organisation couldn’t run without volunteers that participate in this program.

Opportunity for volunteers to sew or prepare Boomerang Bags from home. A great activity to keep you occupied when stuck at home.

All details and instructions can be found on the Facebook Group Boomerang Bags City of Casey

Bags are made from second hand fabrics clean sheets, pilowcases, doona covers, unbacked curtains etc. Labels can be posted out if needed.

Once isolation has lifted we will meet again at our usual sewing bee locations.
