Temporary owners are needed to help puppies become good candidates for guide dog training.
Within several weeks, these puppies will require foster homes to learn what it takes to become a "good dog" before entering formal training to become guide dogs or assistance dogs to help someone in need.
Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is seeking foster families for the latest arrivals.
You must be home most of the day or obtain permission to take the dog to work with you.You require access to a vehicle for veterinary appointments and training sessions.
All food and veterinary expenses are provided. This is a 12- to 18-month commitment, raising and training the dog.
When the dog is ready to enter into formal training at the national training centre of Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind in Manotick, you must be prepared to give up the dog so that it may continue its journey as a guide or assistance dog./
The next information session for this program will be held Feb. 24, 2012. Additional information sessions will be held on March 9 and 23.
