OccuPaws Guide Dog Association

🐾 New GDiT Welcome - Umber! 🐾

Move over, everyone — there's a new recruit in town!

Meet Umber, the newest Guide Dog in Training to join the OccuPaws family. This adorable Labrador comes to us from The Captain's Labrador Retrievers of Cloquet, Minnesota, and she's already capturing hearts with those puppy-dog eyes.

Right now, Umber's resume includes napping, playing, exploring, and being irresistibly cute. Over the next several months, she'll be hard at work learning the skills needed to become a future guide dog and life-changing partner for a person with vision loss.

Big dreams start with small paws — and Umber's journey is just beginning.

Welcome aboard, Umber! We can't wait to watch your story unfold.
