Finishing up our series with Athens Dawgs Raising Dawgs! This series will return next semester! But, for now, hereโ€™s something from them to you! -

โ€œDawgs Raising Dogs (also known as Athens Puppy Raisers) raises puppies for the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind, a non-profit that provides highly skilled guide dogs to individuals free of charge. There are two ways you can be involved with us: as a puppy raiser, or a โ€œcamperโ€ (aka a part-time puppy sitter). You can learn more about these roles and how to get involved through our instagram, Athens Area GDF/AVD, or by attending an upcoming information session on 10/12 from 7-8pm. Check our Instagram or email [email protected] for the location when it is confirmed.
Our goal is to provide the foundations for the puppies to become successful guide dogs through proper socialization and obedience training. You may see our dogs around campus in yellow vests!โ€œ
