Review for Southeastern Guide Dogs, Inc. DBA Dogs Inc, Palmetto, FL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I began volunteering as a puppy raiser for Southeastern Guide Dogs in 1995 with Victor, a labador puppy. I have since raised 10 more puppies for them, and have learned more with each puppy I have raised. The school has area coordinators in each area to help the raisers, and each raiser receives support from the school. During the year you spend with the puppy you learn a lot about dog training and behavior, and you know you are making a big difference in someone's life. Not all dogs become guide dogs, if the dog does not become a guide dog it is evaluated for another area of service so that it will fulfill its purpose. I love being associated with this organization.
