We are a diverse and all-volunteer group coming together to support each other in raising successful guide dog puppies. Puppy raisers nurture and socialize the puppies from the age of 8 weeks until they are about 18 months old. The club is focusing on the youth in the community who wish to fulfill community service or academic goals by becoming puppy raisers. We meet the second Tuesday of the month in Rancho Bernardo, CA.
