Mission Statement
Guiding Eyes for the Blind (GEB) Cuyahoga Puppy Raising Region is dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals who are blind or visually impaired through the assistance of specially bred, professionally trained guide dogs. GEB dogs facilitate safe travel, and thereby assure their handlers increased dignity, independence, and opportunity.
Description
GEB Cuyahoga Puppy Raising Region is recruiting civic minded volunteers willing to help raise, train basic obedience, and socialize a pup, in preparation for their potential future as a dog guide for the blind.
No experience necessary as free training is provided by trained local volunteers, through Pre-puppy Placement orientation classes, weekly training/support classes, individualized home support, and regular scheduled assessments by Guiding Eyes staff members.
