Southeastern Guide Dogs has Adorable Puppies and They Want YOU to Raise Them
The Nonprofit Organization is Seeking Volunteer Puppy Raisers
Calling all dog lovers! Southeastern Guide Dogs needs some help from dog-loving families and individuals to grow into guide dogs who change someone’s life. Puppies from the organization are placed into volunteer’s homes, where the young dogs learn house manners and basic skills to prepare for advanced skills training and life as a working dog.
Interested raisers should know the following information:
-No experience is needed. Puppy Raising Services will provide a supportive team and the tools to succeed in this volunteer role.
