What's included

Enrichment and socialization

Our puppies are hosted by loving families who keep them as part of the daily family life. At 4 weeks of age, visitors are permitted to interact with puppies. We also ask our families to help the puppies learn self-control by encouraging them to sit for any attention, petting, or food.

Puppy health practices

Our puppies are examined, microchipped de-wormed, and vaccinated at 7 weeks of age. They also receive deworming with their host families at 14 and 28 days of age.

Extras

Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Leader Dogs for the Blind hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.

Bringing your puppy home
