“B” Litter Meets Their Volunteer Raisers!

Guide Dogs of America’s volunteer puppy raiser families foster our puppies from the age of 8 weeks until the dogs enter formal guide dog training at around 18 months of age.

Guide Dogs of America’s “B” litter went home with their GDA volunteer puppy raisers on April 3! The German Shepherd puppies are pictured here as a group with their raisers at our campus.

Thank you GDA volunteers for opening your hearts and homes and helping us to raise outstanding guide dogs!
