Linda “Linde” Lindeman-DeCarlo has been a volunteer Puppy-Raiser with Leader Dogs for the Blind, and is currently raising her fifth puppy.

Leader Dogs for the Blind is a nonprofit organization that relies solely on charitable contributions and donations for its operation.

Recently, Leader Dogs had to layoff 10 percent of its staff in order to make ends meet.

Lindeman-DeCarlo's personal contribution as a Puppy Raiser along with financial help from the Willoughby Lions Club, have not been enough to help the school meet its goals of issuing Leader Dogs to the blind at no cost to the individual blind person.

Now, she is attempting to raise funds for Leader Dogs for the Blind by opening an On-Line Pet Store.

Please consider making your pet supply purchases from this Web site as net proceeds will be donated to Leader Dogs for the Blind.

There are a lot of interesting and unique items available for dogs, cats, fish, birds and even ferrets.
