Love puppies? Be a puppy raiser recruiter for Leader Dog!
Puppy raisers house a Leader Dog puppy for 6-12 months before they return to "Leader Dog University." Raisers teach basic house manners, simple commands and help introduce puppies to new experiences.
The Puppy Raiser Recruiter will learn all about our program and then go into the community to help recruit new raisers. Training on our program and how to work with Ambassador dogs will be provided. Scheduling is flexible.
We're looking for individuals who are outgoing, professional, available on weekdays and weekends, empathetic and interested in making a true difference in the life of someone who is blind or visually impaired.

Our mission is empowering people who are blind or visually impaired with lifelong skills for safe and independent daily travel.
Founded by three Detroit area Lions Clubs members in 1939, Leader Dogs for the Blind provides dog guides to people who are blind and visually impaired to enhance their mobility, independence and quality of life. Each year, clients attend our residential training program to be paired with a dog guide. This is a life-changing event that opens the doors to independence, safety and self-worth for many of our students.
In addition to our guide dog program, we offer programs that enhance a person's independence and quality of life in other ways, including orientation and mobility training, teen summer camp, and seminars for Orientation and Mobility professionals. Currently, Leader Dog is the only facility in the Western Hemisphere to teach DeafBlind students to work with a guide dog.
Thanks to generous donations from our supporters, our guide dog services are provided free of charge, including room and board and travel to and from our campus in Rochester Hills, Michigan, for clients.
Leader Dog is recognized as a "Best In America" Charity by the Independent Charities of America (ICA).
