I'm Volunteer Puppy raiser here. The puppy I raise by donating my time and money, will become an extremely important family member - working dog for a blind person someday.

I read in the Desert Sun this organization was looking for volunteers. I called them and gave them a brief verbal resume of myself (70 yo retired woman, professional dog sitter, and interested in helping). Nancy advised me that they would send me an email with a link for their website and a questionnaire. Sadly I'm still waiting for them to reach out me. I guess they no longer need volunteers.

Guide Dogs of the Desert is a gift to our community and the blind individuals and families they serve. Everyone at GDD is so professional and they keep the interests of the dogs and the humans they serve as the focus of everything they do. We are proud to be volunteer puppy raisers and supporters of GDD.

I finally did something I have always wanted to do. I am now sponsoring a dog in the puppy champion program and Guide Dogs of the Desert made it happen for me. They are a wonderful organization and I am so excited to be working with them! And now I would like to introduce to you my sweet, beautiful and wonderful guide dog, Daisy! I haven't met you yet but I already know that I love you!

I have been meaning to write this for quite some time, but I never got around to it. Several years ago, I was a puppy raiser for a standard poodle for GDD. Keep in mind that I had worked with other guide dog organizations before. When they took my dog away for training the first time, he was returned to me with an untreated skin infection (from laying in a kennel treated with harsh chemicals) and and untreated ear infection in addition to having newly-acquired anxiety. When I tried to talk to GDD about the situation, they came to my house and took the dog away for more "training." Nine months later, they called me and said I could have the dog back because he wasn't fit for a guide dog. When I picked him up, I received a fearful dog who showed dog aggression and he had severe untreated infection from his neutering. When I contacted them to address the situation, they absolutely refused to return my calls and emails. It has been several years, and I have a great dog (with no health issues or dog aggression). There are other reputable guide dog organizations out there ..... use them and do NOT use GDD.
