GDA Volunteers Pick Up “D,” “E,” “H,” “I,” and “J” Litters!

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. Volunteer puppy raisers recently picked up GDA’s “D, “E,” “H,” “I,” and “J” litters.
