Volunteer Puppy Raisers
In terms of pure selflessness, it is our volunteer puppy raisers
that rise to the top. They take our pups at about eight
weeks of age, love and care for them, participate in
weekly socialization and training activities at the
Fidelco training center and then, when the pups are
approximately 14 to 16 months old, return them to
us for formal guide dog training.
Thousands of families and individuals have participated in the
Fidelco volunteer puppy raising program over the years. They
expose the pup to a wide variety of experiences in
the home, on the street and in the world at large;
the very things that the dogs will be required to
deal with as a guide for someone with a visual disability.
The payback is immeasurable. The freedom and independence that the pup brings to its human
partner is based on the love and care provided by
the Fidelco puppy raisers. What better legacy can there be?
