Guide Dogs Change Lives: A Heartfelt Interview with CBC Vancouver

At the heart of every successful Guide Dog team is a story of transformation and triumph. Recently, CBC Vancouver spotlighted one of our remarkable Guide Dog clients, Mark Hicks, sharing an inspiring narrative that underscores the profound impact his Guide Dog Winston, has had on his life. The interview brought to light not just the day-to-day benefits of having a Guide Dog, but also the emotional and psychological support they offer.

The benefits of Guide Dogs are only possible thanks to the dedicated individuals who play a crucial role in their development—our volunteer puppy raisers. These unsung heroes provide the initial care, training, and socialization that lay the foundation for a Guide Dog’s future success. There is currently a shortage of volunteer puppy raisers, which means we’re facing a critical need for more compassionate and committed individuals to join our community.

If you have a passion for making a difference and a love for dogs, we encourage you to consider becoming a volunteer puppy raiser. Your involvement not only supports the development of guide dogs but also plays a vital role in transforming lives. Join us at our Puppy Raiser Info Session on August 22, 2024 at 1:00 PM PST.
