What are the responsibilities and job description for the Volunteer Puppy Raisers Needed! Raise a Puppy Change a Life! position at Guide Dog Foundation & America's VetDogs?
Join our Puppy Raising Team! Puppy Raisers are passionate, dedicated volunteers who foster our puppies on their way to becoming guide dogs & service dogs. We rely on volunteers to provide experience and socialization for our puppies in real-world settings.
Our pups begin their journeys in raiser homes at 8-12 weeks old, then return to our campus at 14-18 months to begin formal training. Formal training with a Certified Instructor takes around 3-4 months to complete. Once done, a guide dog will be matched with someone in need. No prior experience required. Our dedicated team of puppy advisors & staff will be there to support you every step of the way.
