CC Dogs

Not all the puppies we raise qualify to work as a helper to a blind partner. Some develop physical problems and others are not temperamentally suited to the work (just as all people are not cut out to be doctors or firemen). When a dog is released from the program, it is said to have a change of career. The dog's puppy raiser has first right of refusal to take the dog when this happens. All of the dogs on this page have found loving homes and new careers. However, if you are interested in adopting an available career change dog from Guide Dogs for the Blind, click here.
