Interested in Giving a Dog a New Home?

Not all of our dogs are meant to be working Dog Guides. And that’s OK! These dogs can make wonderful, loving pets.

Dog Guides Can Change Careers, Too

Some dogs may not have the right personality or temperament for a life as a Dog Guide. Some dogs have had to drop out for health reasons. Others are taking a well-deserved retirement after a full career. The dogs listed below are looking for loving homes!

Getting started with our Career Change Program is simple! First, review our Discovery Package to ensure you have the most up-to-date information about the program and the adoption process. 

If you have never applied before, or if your previous application was submitted over one year ago, you must complete a “NEW APPLICATION”. Please note that applications are only active for one year. 

Once you have an active application on file, keep an eye on this page. If you see a dog you feel could be a good match for your home, you may then submit a “STATEMENT OF INTEREST” for that specific dog. 

Important note: A Statement of Interest is not valid on its own. You must first have an active application on file so we have your current contact information and a clear understanding of your home environment, lifestyle, and dog experience.
