GDA Puppies Meet Their 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.

GDA’s volunteer puppy raisers open their hearts and homes to our puppies and help us raise outstanding guide dogs. Are you interested in supporting our mission to change the lives of those who are blind? GDA is looking for loving homes to raise a puppy of 8 weeks of age until he or she is around 18 months old. We want to hear from you!
