Are you inspired by Guide Dogs for the Blind’s mission to help people who are blind or visually impaired gain greater independence, confidence, and inclusion? Are you looking for a fun and meaningful service project? Did you watch Pick of the Litter and want to learn more? Whatever your motivation, raising a guide dog puppy is a rewarding volunteer opportunity that can change many lives – including your own!

At Guide Dogs for the Blind, we have three core client programs: a Guide Dog Program: matching people with highly-trained guide dogs; an Orientation & Mobility Immersion Program: teaching orientation and mobility tactics for safe, independent travel, including the skills that are most relevant to guide dog mobility, and a K9 Buddy Program: matching both children and adults with specially-selected dogs to be their pets and companions. Join us at one of our free informational events to learn more!

All of our services are provided free of charge, including personalized training and ongoing support, plus financial assistance for veterinary care, if needed. Our work is made possible by the generous support of our donors and volunteers; we receive no government funding. We appreciate donations of any amount, from small to large, whether it’s one-time or pledging monthly support. Please donate today!
