The CNIB Guide Dog Memorial Garden honours the memories of beloved CNIB program dogs and the deep bonds they shared with their handlers.

Breeder Carer – CNIB Guide Dogs

Volunteers are a critical part of our guide dog program, and we’re always in need of volunteer puppy raisers and boarders. With support from CNIB Guide Dogs staff, you would play a vital role in bringing future CNIB guide dogs into the world by caring for one of our adult dogs from 12 months of age through the end of their breeding career, as well as supporting whelping and the early socialization of puppies up to 12 weeks old.
