Why Donate?
L.A. Southwest is a local volunteer guide dog puppy raising group affiliated with Guide Dogs for the Blind, a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation. Our Raisers are responsible for the complete care, training and socialization of their guide dog puppies in training for approximately 14-16 months.
Thanks to the foresight and generosity of our donors and raisers, L.A. Southwest is not only able to provide the fundamental skills required for guide dog candidates but is also able to donate to special programs within the GDB parent organization. All services provided by Guide Dogs for the Blind are totally free of charge to the recipient. GDB receives NO government funding.
You can help L.A. Southwest Puppy Raisers to:
- provide designated gifts to special canine welfare programs within the GDB organization
- maintain a members-only on-loan inventory of puppy raising equipment
- assist with kennel costs for females in season
- provide guide dog graduation scholarships
- provide presentations to youth and adults about blindness and related issues
- provide educational materials for presentations and events
