Welcome To Pele's Place!

So...what is a "Pele" you are asking??? Well, Pele is an adorable Yellow

Labrador Retriever, being raised for Guide Dogs for the Blind, INC in San Rafael, California. Now you are probably wondering just what it takes to be a guide dog for the blind, and I hope to inform you more about this project through this web page! Thanks for visiting!!

It's a Boy!!!

Pele was born on October 20, 1998 at Guide Dogs for the Blind, INC. Pele's parents are Sprig and Jackie. His litter was assigned the letter "P" with which all their names were to start. Pele's brothers and sisters will all have names that begin with "P" as well. Pele lived with his siblings in the kennel at Guide Dogs for the Blind, INC for the first 8 1/2 weeks of his life, until he was placed with me, his raiser. Pele came to live with me on Decemeber 19, 1998. His brothers, Putnam and Preston, are also being raised in Yolo county. Pele will remain in my care until he is 14 to 16 months old, when he will return to Guide Dogs for his formal training. I'll be updating this page with Pele's progress over the months that I have him! Check in again and see how we are doing!
