INTERESTED IN RAISING A PUPPY? -Become a part of the Guide Dog Puppy Raising Team!  Qualified raisers receive pups when they are approximately 8 weeks old.  Puppy raisers housetrain the pups, teach them basic obedience and good manners, and above all socialize them to the world.  No prior experience is necessary, because you will become a part of a Guide Dog Puppy Raising Project, receive instructional materials, and have local expert guidance.  Becoming a puppy raiser has many rewards.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO RAISE A PUPPY TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT!-We need puppy sitters, puppy socializers, club volunteers, and information presenters.
