Puppy Raisers - Putnam County
Guiding Eyes for the Blind is seeking Putnam County-based volunteers to help raise a Guiding Eyes puppy for 12-18 months. These essential volunteers provide the pup with the love, socialization, house manners, and basic obedience skills it will need to succeed in guide dog training. All Puppy Raisers are provided with a crate and a dedicated staff member to assist with training; veterinary expenses for the pup are covered by Guiding Eyes for the Blind for the duration of the puppy's stay.
Volunteer requirements:
- Mandatory training and weekly/biweekly classes
- Must live within 1 hour of Patterson where classes are held
