Foster a dog and help the physically challenged

SHANGHAI: If you love dogs and prepared to help physically challenged 
people, here is an opportunity.

Call the Shanghai Association for the Disabled to apply to foster a labrador

the city's first group of seeing eye dogs.

"One of the major conditions for applicants is they can't keep another 
animal in the house, and have sufficient space for the dog to move about," a

staff member surnamed Mo told China Daily.

During six-to-eight-month period when the dog is with the volunteer, he or 
she is expected to properly look after the animal and treat it as a member 
of the family.

"They are not supposed to give the dog any special training, but to bond 
with it, so it gets used to living with humans," Mo said.

Six puppies are now with foster families, and will start their training as 
seeing eye dogs when they are 6 to 8 months old.

The puppies are being provided by Nanjing's Police Dog Institution, and 
trained by Japan's Seeing Eye Dog Association.

"We chose labradors because they are the best breed that can be trained as 
seeing eye dogs," Mo said.

"We also considered German shepherds, which are very obedient after proper 
training, but people are often afraid of them.

"We have received hundreds of applications so far," Mo said.

However, she could not say how many families would be recruited, or how many

puppies would be sent to foster homes.

"We have just started this project. So there is still much to be decided," 
Mo said.

The cost of training a seeing eye dog is expected to be more than 100,000 
yuan ($12,300). Besides Shanghai, Dalian also has a training program for 
seeing eye dogs, Mo said.

Shanghai has a total blind population of 160,000. The first group of dogs 
will be given "to the most needy".
