Become a puppy sponsor today
Ready to Make a Lifelong Impact?
Every year, adorable, wiggly, tail-wagging puppies will begin their journey to becoming life-changing guide dogs—but they need you to give them a name!
As a puppy sponsor, you get the unique honor of naming a guide dog-in-training and following their journey from birth to 18 months of age. Your support ensures that they receive, expert care, training and lots of love as they prepare to change someone's life forever.
By sponsoring and naming a puppy, you’re giving the gift of independence, mobility, and companionship to someone in need.
Your gift is more than a name It's a legacy
A puppy’s name is more than just a word—it’s the most important cue they’ll ever learn.
It’s the first step in their training, the command they’ll hear before every task, and a lasting tribute to the impact they will make.
Whether you choose a name to honor a loved one, celebrate a meaningful story, or simply bring joy, your sponsorship leaves a lasting imprint on a future guide dog’s life.
How to Choose the Perfect Name
When selecting a name for your future guide dog, keep in mind:
- Keep it short & sweet: One or two syllables is ideal.
- Make it clear: The name should be easy to say and recognize.
- Think unique: Strong consonant sounds like “K,” “T,” “P,” or “D” help puppies distinguish their name in training.
- Avoid the usual suspects: Popular dog names like Max, Buddy, or Bella could cause confusion around other dogs.
