Way to go team Daxton!!
Thank you to all of the club members who came out to support Daxton and Joelle at GDB graduation ceremony on Saturday! It was a beautiful ceremony, so many heartfelt words 😢 😭 expressed from the clients and puppy raisers alike. And after not being able to attend a ceremony in person for so many years, it once again brings back, why we do what we do.
Client lives in San Rafael, we will be able to get updates on Daxton travels and adventures, and possibly have Daxton and his person join us at a future club event or meeting.
Congratulations to Daxton! 🎉
01/18/2024
Congratulation once again to team Daxton- this easy-going big guy is all grown up now, and ready to take on the world!! He will be graduating this coming Saturday January 20, 2024, as a working guide 🦮 and will be presented by Joelle and team to his soulmate who lives in San Rafael.
Graduation begins at 1:30pm, should be completed by 2:30, punch and cookies are served at the conclusion of the ceremony.
The campus gift shop will be open from 1-3pm if you want to pick up anything GDB related.
Come and attend a graduation ceremony, this is a memorable moment, and this is why we as volunteers do what we do!
Go Daxton!
Cheers

Our Story
About
The GDB Pleasanton, CA Puppy Raising Club is a group of volunteers in Northern California who support the Guide Dogs Inc. (GDB) for the blind mission through puppy raising, puppy sitting, fundraising and general club support. We are a group of individuals who are passionate about giving back to our community, helping other and who find joy in raising companion animals to be future service dogs.
History
The Pleasanton, CA club was established in 2004, to meet the growing needs of puppy raising volunteers in the Tri-Valley area. The founding members of our club, were previously puppy raisers and leaders of the Alameda County Guide Dog Puppy Raising Club. When the Alameda County Club grew too large, the Pleasanton based Tri-Valley club was started by Ellen. Her daughter Joelle has been the assistant leader for the club since 2006. In 2019 our name was updated form the Tri-Valley Guide Dog Puppy Raisers to the GDB Pleasanton, CA Puppy Raisers in accordance with Guide Dogs for the Blind rebranding initiative.
Club Members
Puppy Raisers: Volunteers who foster Labrador and Golden Retriever puppies bred by GDB for about a years time. While in the raisers home, the puppy will need to be taught basic obedience, good house manners and socialization skills. It is the puppy raisers responsibility to expose the puppy to the outside world, and help build it's confidence, so one day it will grow up to be a working guide dog.
Puppy Sitter: Volunteers who care for GDB puppies when their raiser needs to go out of town, or when a breeder-1puppy needs someone to care for them temporarily.
Club Volunteers: The club has a number of people who can not have a dog in their home, however they are able to support the club and GDB mission by assisting with fundraising activities, meetings, outings and other special events.
Club Leaders: Ellen Aguirre, Joelle Cook & Angela Matthews
Location
The Pleasanton, CA Puppy Raising Club is located in the East Bay of Northern California. Our weekly meetings vary by location and training needs, but are normally held in Pleasanton. We are located about 45 miles from the Guide Dog campus in San Rafael, CA.
Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB) is a nonprofit, charitable organization that was established in 1942 to provide a safe means of mobility for people who are blind and visually impaired. GDB is the largest Guide Dog school in the country, and continues its dedication to quality student training services and extensive follow-up support for graduates. Our programs are made possible through the teamwork of staff, volunteers and generous donors. GDB receives no government funds. Services are provided to students from the United States and Canada at no cost to them. We operate two training facilities (one is headquartered in San Rafael, California—20 miles north of San Francisco, another in Boring, Oregon—25 miles east of Portland), and have more than 2,000 volunteer puppy raising families throughout the Western states. More than 15,000 teams have graduated since our founding, and there are approximately 2,200 active guide dog teams currently in the field.
