Los Angeles Southwest Guide Dog Raisers (LASW) was a local club made up of volunteer puppy raisers for the international organization, Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc. In 2024 LASW was disbanded and members were given the opportunity to become part of larger area clubs. This website is dedicated to all the LASW members through the years. It is a tribute to their dedication and commitment to services for the blind and visually impaired. It serves as a scrapbook filled with the events and the people who made LASW the fun and successful club that it was.

We welcome you to our website and hope you enjoy your visit with us.

Raise a Pup Change a Life

LASW members made a difference for people who are blind or visually impaired while having fun and learning new skills. Those skills continue to take us to new heights with the dogs in our lives. There is nothing like the love of a puppy mixed with the support of friends and family to help our dogs become the best that they can be.
