Hugh, raised by Janet Gift, graduated on Saturday, July 26th! Congratulations to Hugh and Janet. Hugh will be living in El Cerrito with his new partner, Fran, who teaches computer skills at a mobility orientation school in Berkeley.

Attending a graduation ceremony at Guide Dogs for the Blind is one of the best ways to get acquainted with the program. Puppy raisers say goodbye to their graduating dogs, and the graduating class members return to their homes and families with new partners by their sides. The public graduation ceremonies take place monthly at 1:30 pm on a Saturday and are followed by tours of the campus. Graduations will be held on Aug 30, Oct 4, Nov 8, and Dec 13, 2008.

Sep 4, 2008: Meeting, 7 pm, Harper Jr High, Davis; puppy reports are due.

Do you want to be involved with puppy raising but don't have the time to raise your own puppy? Then we have the perfect job for you! Eyes for Others needs puppy sitters. Puppy sitters are volunteers that take other raiser's pups for a set period of time while they are away, or just want a break from it all. Puppy sitters are extremely valuable to our success as raisers, and we need more. If you are interested, please contact one of our leaders. Thank you!
