Lombardi is a 14 week old Labrador who is a puppy in training for Guide Dogs for the Blind. He is already excelling in his training. He learned his name after only 2 days and shows great self control and patience at meal times. He will be living with his new puppy raiser for over a year while he learns the ropes of becoming a Guide Dog.
Isn't his little vest the cutest?!

If you are interested in becoming a puppy raiser, check out the volunteer section of the Guide Dogs website HERE. It is a lot of hard work and requires a lot of dedication, but it all goes toward helping someone in need, which is such a fulfilling cause.
If you are in the Santa Barbara, CA area and are interested, check out the SB chapter of Guide Dogs for the Blind HERE. Jill Hall, Lombardi's trainer, is one of the SB county's leaders. Lombardi is the 9th Guide Dog puppy she has raised. She is knowledgeable, kind, and so much fun to be around. Santa Barbara needs more puppy raisers, so feel free to contact them if you are interested!
