Raise a Puppy

There’s no doubt what our puppies want to be when they grow up, but they need your help. As a volunteer puppy raiser, you’ll be the foundation a puppy needs to become a Leader Dog. And together, you’ll empower someone who is blind or visually impaired with safe and independent daily travel. There are multiple options to raising, so check them out today.
