We are actively seeking volunteer Puppy Raisers to care for our adorable, purpose-bred dogs during the first sixteen months of their lives. Raisers teach puppies house manners and basic obedience while socializing them to the everyday world, thus laying the foundation for success in guide dog training. Guiding Eyes provides extensive support including weekly obedience classes, free veterinary care and local assistance.
To find out more about our Puppy Raising Program, please visit our website at: GuidingEyes.org or call us at 1-866-GEB-LABS (1-866-432-5227).
