"IN-HOME PLACEMENTS"

In-Home Placements
 
Southeastern Guide Dogs sometimes do an in-home placement. This is when a Student does not attend a residential class. Instead a trainer travels to the Student's home and conducts the match and training in the Student's home area.
 
During the passed year, two of the TriCounty Puppy Raiser's Group puppies have been In-Home Placed.

Gabby was raised by Joyce & Ron Landbeck
 
Congratulations!
