Even if you cannot
raise a Guiding Eyes for the Blind puppy, you can make a difference right here
in the Cuyahoga region. GEB operates entirely on individual donations, as do
each of the puppy raising regions. The on-going cost of food, toys, and
grooming equipment is absorbed by the volunteer raiser, but the purchase
of many items that keep our region running are made possible by the generosity
of our supporters.

The following wish list is of items that the Cuyahoga region is in need of. Any donations made in the Cuyahoga region will remain in and be used for this region's raisers. |
Puppy Crates: Small crates are needed to transport puppies from the breeding center to our region.
| Printing Supplies and Services: A big part of what we do as puppy raisers is making the public aware of our program--not only to attract new raisers, but also to help educate people about guide dogs in general. We set up information booths at various events throughout the year, and need a supply of written materials to distribute. | ![[Puppy riding in wagon]](gfx/wagon.gif) |
Other
Needs: We have an on-going need for incidentals
such as envelopes, photocopying/printing, booth materials, training videos, and
material for puppy jackets, etc..
