The Seeing Eye/4-H Puppy Raising Program is a joint effort of The Seeing Eye and the 4-H Youth Development Program. Generally, participants are children ages nine to 19, and adults, especially retired adults. The Seeing Eye breeds its own German shepherds, Labrador retrievers and Golden retrievers and Lab/Golden cross. We are always looking for families where we can place our puppies. The puppy needs to stay in your home until it is approximately 14-16 months of age. During the puppy's stay in your home, you will provide guidance and direction in the puppy's development. You will teach the puppy basic obedience commands and expose the puppy to the world in which it will eventually work. You will also provide lots of love, attention, discipline and encouragement for the puppy, and create the foundation for the dog's formal training as a Seeing Eye dog. You will learn how to do all these things from our staff and by attending local puppy club meetings and puppy trips with other club members. Puppies are placed with families in New Jersey, Southeastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Warwick, NY. Due to geography, if you live outside of these areas you will not be eligible to participate as we will not be able to adequately support you throughout the process from such a distance.

Really, Holly?  That's funny everywhere I go seems to have some connection to it.  We just got our kitchen re-done and one of our contractor's mother works(ed?) up in Morristown there, two of the doctors at the practice my mom works at have done it, my sister got a priest penpal at school and he rasied one as a child.  It's really funny, because until I started the program (7 days before I joind the VCMB interestingly enough!) I never heard of it.

And uhmmm, don't mean to correct you, but your friend raised a "dog guide" -- "seeing eye" dogs are like Q-Tips, a brand name.  Seeing eye dogs are all trained at the Seeing Eye in Morristown NJ, and raised in Northeastern states  (as mentioned in my quote).  "Guide dog" is a "brand name" too, they're trained by Guide Dogs of America or something. :D

FYI - today was the worst day EVER!  Not just because of Serg, but he didn't help.  I've cried 3 times already and I usually cry more at night anyway.  Not just because of Serg, but he didn't help it.

(yes I know know I just said that)
