  1. A Puppy is Born Our friendly and intelligent puppies are bred and born right at the Southeastern Guide Dogs Campus in Palmetto, Florida.

  2. Puppy Socialization! Our tiny puppies start getting used to the world when they are just two weeks old.

  3. Puppy Hugs When our puppies turn six weeks old, they’re ready to expand their people skills and get some hugs.

  4. Seeing the World When our puppies are nine weeks old, they are ready to see the world! Volunteer puppy raisers take them home to help prepare them to become guide dogs.

  5. Time To Go To School When the puppies are about 16 months old, they come back to campus for their training where they will learn over 40 commands.

  6. Meeting Their New Owners After many months of preparation, our dogs are ready to meet their new handlers — our visually impaired students.

  7. What a Great Life! Guide dog teams work together for an average of eight years. Retired guide dogs spend their golden years comfortably and well-loved in the homes of graduates, family members or puppy raisers.

  8. Between 200 and 250 puppies are born on campus every year! We have about 100 dogs on campus almost every day! There are around 80 dogs in training at any time!

  9. A Southeastern Guide Dogs trainer walks almost 2,500 miles in a year! The most common names sponsors choose for puppies are Maggie, Buddy, and Liberty

  10. Since Southeastern Guide Dogs opened, we have matched more than 2,800 guide dogs teams! Right now, there are about 500 active guide dog partnerships!

  11. From birth to retirement, it costs $60,000 to raise and train a guide dog! Our students pay nothing!
