Are you interested in a career change dog?

By: Cathy Sheeter



I get a large number of requests for more information from people who are interested in acquiring a career changed dog. Dogs that do not make it as guide dogs usually still make fantastic pets. When a guide dog puppy is dropped from training the puppy raiser family has the first choice to take the puppy back as a pet. If they choose not to take the puppy then it will be placed in a home through Guide Dogs for the Blind.

If you are interested in a career changed guide dog please write or call Guide Dogs for the Blind at:


California Campus: 350 Los Ranchitos Road, San Rafael, CA 94903 • (415) 499-4000

Oregon Campus: 32901 S.E. Kelso Road, Boring, OR 97009 • (503) 668-2100


and ask for an information packet and application for career changes.
