We are in need of LOTS of Co-Pilots (volunteer puppy raisers) to help us raise our Pilot Puppies until they can start their advanced guide dog training! This is a VITAL stage in their development, because the puppies get to experience a loving home environment, learn important household manners, and form positive habits. All of this contributes to their success as a Pilot Dog, ultimately leading to transforming the life of someone who is blind or visually impaired, or a veteran who has selflessly served our country.
Our crew of Co-Pilots helps raise our Pilot Puppies from the time they are approximately 2 months old until the age of about 18 months. If you aren't able to raise a puppy from start to finish, that's okay...we have plenty of short-term options available…
