Sponsor a Puppy
These three puppies have big futures. Right now, each one is living with a volunteer puppy raiser, building the foundation for the work they were born to do as guides. Your symbolic sponsorship makes a difference not only for the puppies who will grow up to become heroes to their partners, but also for the partners whose lives will be changed by these dogs.
Roland
Roland is growing up in Illinois and this little yellow Labrador and golden retriever cross is spirited and attentive! When you sponsor Roland (or any of our heroes-in-training), you'll receive:
- A 5x7 photograph suitable for framing
- Four wallet-size photos to share
- A puppy profile
- An official sponsorship certificate
- A plush puppy
- And most importantly, the knowledge your sponsorship will help change lives

Your Sponsorship Makes a Difference
Lisa McGuire and Leader Dog Hopper
[Leader Dog Hopper] is going to impact my life significantly. I will be able to venture out by myself, use Uber and go out on my own. It was awesome just to walk with him down the sidewalk and not have to "feel" everything. I forgot what that was like.
Connie Bowman and Leader Dog Sky
If I want to take a walk, I can. If I want to hop on a bus to have lunch with my husband during his lunch hour, I can. We like to go to the symphony and we can with Sky. Before I got my first [guide] dog, I couldn't even take the trash out.
Marguerite Boersma and Leader Dog Avery
My life will be so much more independent. I will be able to utilize public transportation instead of having my husband drive me everywhere.
William Baer and Leader Dog Sylvan
I don't know if words can explain. [Leader Dog Sylvan] is a dream come true. The companionship was unparalleled and the ease of getting around versus using a cane... I'm much more at ease."
Abigail Blackwell and Leader Dog Yoda
[Leader Dog Yoda] will give me back a sense of security as a woman living alone in a big city.
William Bowers and Leader Dog Brody
I can get around and do what I want to. [Having Leader Dogs] enabled me to go out; it's enabled me not to end up like my wife's brother. He has [retinitis pigmentosa] and basically shut himself in.
Robert Rock and Leader Dog Rocky
After just this week, I'm in love. I'm going to be able to go a lot of different places. Last night I put all my trust in this dog. I haven't taken a night walk in years. [Leader Dog Rocky] made me so happy I don't believe it. He's so good.
