What Your Support Makes Possible

It takes two years of hard work for a puppy to become a life-changer. There are five key steps for puppies on their path to becoming a CNIB Guide Dog and your vital monthly support means you’ll be there for them every step of the way.

0-8 WEEKS OLD

The puppy spends his first precious weeks with his mother and his siblings.

9 WEEKS–4 MONTHS

The puppy is placed with a volunteer raiser, who helps him socialize and learn basic skills, commands
and routines.

5-12 MONTHS

Still living with a volunteer raiser, the puppy learns to navigate obstacles and is exposed to crowds, other animals and public spaces.

13-17 MONTHS

Time to get serious! The puppy works with a professional trainer, and learns the basics of guiding with a harness.

AROUND 18 MONTHS

Show time! The puppy is matched with a Canadian with sight loss, and they learn to work together, on a journey that you made possible!

Your Donations at Work

We believe that the cost of owning a guide dog should never be a barrier to independence, and your gift ensures handlers never pay a cent.
