Puppy Pal Program

Become a Puppy Pal by symbolically adopting a Dog Guides’ Litter.

Every puppy is born with the potential to become a future Dog Guide, and we want to give them the best start possible.

For a donation of $10,000, you can make a huge impact by helping to cover expenses such as:

Breeding and Genetics:

  • Cost of breeding high-quality, genetically sound dogs suitable for service work.
  • Genetic testing and screening to ensure the health and suitability of the parent dogs.

Puppy Care and Socialization:

  • Veterinary care including vaccinations, deworming, and health checkups for the litter.
  • Food and nutrition tailored for the specific needs of growing puppies.
  • Housing and facilities to provide a safe and comfortable environment for the puppies.
  • Early socialization experiences to prepare them for their future roles as service dogs.

Basic Training and Development:

  • Training materials and resources for basic obedience and socialization training.
  • Puppy staff to guide Volunteer Foster Families with their puppies through their early training stages.
  • Equipment such as leashes, collars, puppy vests and crates

Health and Wellness:

  • Continued veterinary care as the puppies grow and develop.
  • Monitoring and management of any health issues or concerns that may arise during the training process.

As a Puppy Pal, you will receive:

  • A Certificate of Adoption accompanied by a photo and information about the litter
  • An update at about 16 months on where the dogs are and what they’re doing

When choosing to adopt please know:

  • You cannot name the puppies
  • You cannot choose the litter
  • Litter size can vary
  • Not all puppies graduate and are successful, and that’s okay. Through our Career Change program, they will find a home and go on to live wonderful, meaningful lives bringing joy to their family
