Early Socialization The Early Socialization Program (ES) is the perfect program for volunteers able to spend a few hours a week at our Canine Development Center.

Socializers provide daily pup massage and socialization to a litter of pups to helping to prepare them for their Journey as Guide Dogs. More... Home Litter Care The Home Litter Care Program is a great opportunity for volunteers to take home a brood and her litter of pups and provide them with a safe, nurturing home environment for approximately 5 weeks. Exposing these young pups to the sights & sounds of a busy, loving home will build the pups confidence and chances of reaching their potential as a Guide Dog. More...
