Mission

Occupaws Guide Dog Association has 34 puppies in training, 6 breeding females and has placed fifty nine guide dogs and nine children's visual companion dogs since its inception.

About

Occupaws Guide Dog Association acquires, raises, trains, and places guide dogs with visually impaired adults in Wisconsin and contiguous state. In 2018, we placed seven adult guide dogs and provided review training to 35 teams that received dogs in previous years. We also spoke to hundreds of people at service groups, scout meetings, businesses, 4-H groups, humane societies, the Wisconsin Council for the Blind, and other organizations about visual impairments and guide dogs. We have an ongoing program at the Oxford Federal Correctional Institution (a low security men's prison) where we have inmates raise and train puppies, much like regular puppy raisers. We conduct weekly classes for the 10 inmates currently raising puppies for us. The program is called 'Pawsforward.'
