Tetbury Bowls Club
Our Guide Dog - Bowler
October 2021: Bowler seems to be doing very well according to his 1st Report Card. Lots of work ahead on his social skills, but it's early days yet.
September 2021: We've received our first 'pupdate' about Bowler! This is provided by his Puppy Raiser, Carol, so we can see how he has settled in and what he has been getting up to.
July 2021: We are now proudly sponsoring newly born Bowler (see image) who was born on 2 June 2021; here's his birth certificate. He will soon be placed with his Puppy Walker, who will start to teach him the skills that he will need as a future guide dog
