Hybrid Puppy Raising

We are currently recruiting for Hybrid Puppy Raising volunteers for people interested in raising a puppy for Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB) in the San Francisco Bay Area and Portland, OR area. Please fill out the interest form (link below) to receive more information.

Hybrid Puppy Raising is different from our traditional club-based puppy raising program: it is led by staff experts from the GDB Puppy Raising team, who provide support and education through a hybrid model of online trainings, webinars, and in-person workshops.

If you are interested in helping usher our puppies on their journey to service by providing socialization and love, the hybrid project could be for you!

If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected].

"Hybrid puppy raising gives us the flexibility to devote the time to raising a guide dog puppy while still participating in all the other activities our three school age children want to do. We wanted to raise a puppy but couldn't commit to the ongoing weekend activities with the local puppy raising club - hybrid raising makes it possible!"
