Welcome to GDB’s Enumclaw Puppy Raiser Club

Welcome to the Enumclaw, WA Guide Dogs for the Blind Puppy Club! Our dedicated group of volunteers is passionate about raising and socializing puppies for the largest guide dog school in North America. Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB) provides highly trained guide dogs to individuals who are blind or visually impaired. We receive our puppies at approximately eight weeks old and care for them until they are ready to return to GDB for formal training at around 14 to 16 months old. We provide the early foundation of training, care, and love that these puppies need to thrive. From house training and basic commands to socializing in a variety of environments, we play an essential role in preparing them for their future as life-changing partners. Whether you're interested in volunteering, donating, or simply learning more, we invite you to join us in our mission to help guide dogs on their journey to independence and service.
