You can try Guide Dogs For the Blind:

or Guide Dogs of North America

If they do not have a program in your area, ask if they know of a reputable organization you can go to.

Answer 2

type "puppy raisers california" into your search engine.

Watch out - some of these programs differ widely in what they expect you to contribute.
