 Welcome to our website! Willamette  Valley Paws for People is a guide dog  puppy raising club dedicated to raising  guide dog puppies for Guide Dogs for  the Blind, Inc.

 The Willamette Valley Paws for People  club is made up of puppy raisers who are raising guide dog puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind, in Marion and Polk County, Oregon. The puppy raising clubs of Marion and Polk County combined in October 2005 to form Willamette Valley Paws for People.

Our purpose is to support puppy raisers in their goal of developing puppies to potentially become guides, breeders, or K9 Buddies for Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc.

Please take a moment to look around.
