tarheel95 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I think I have posted about this before, but my family fosters brood dogs for Guiding Eyes for the Blind in Patterson. Our latest brood, Ikea, whelped six new pups this past weekend. She carried seven, but one unfortunately didn't make it through whelping. Let's hope they all make the grade to become the next generation of service dogs. Mom and pups are resting well as you can see. I'll try to post updates on their progress as I get them. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I always wanted a rejected guiding eyes puppy but it seems they are damn near impossible to get. Looks like the pound will be where I eventually get to adopt a nice dog or 5Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarheel95 Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 Sorry. You can get on the list to adopt the dropouts, but last check it was a 1 to 2 year wait. Great dogs if you can wait that long. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarheel95 Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Latest photos of our pups. Amazing how much they have grown. A few more weeks and we will have our dog back home and they'll be off in training. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarheel95 Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) Last post on this thread. My wife picked mom up today after she finished weaning. Home safe and sound and resting next to her sister. All six pup's now start their training. Hope they all make the grade as service dogs.
