The first step to becoming a Guiding Eyes puppy raiser is to fill out a Puppy Raiser Application so that we can learn a little about you. Before you take that step, review the region map to be sure there is a puppy raising region close enough to you. You will also want to review your responsibilities in raising a Guiding Eyes puppy, so that you can determine whether raising a puppy matches your time commitment and interests.

Puppy-raising is a very rewarding experience that involves everyone in the household. Many of our raisers get involved because it is a project that individuals or families can do while meeting people who also love dogs and want to help others. Learning life lessons, giving to others, and learning about dogs are among the reasons people are drawn to raising a potential guide dog puppy.
