Guide dogs fall under the Department of Consumer Affairs. They are classified differently than other service dogs. Training of guide dogs is extensive and instructors/trainers are required by law in California to be licensed through the California State Board of Guide Dogs for the Blind.

No offense, Minnie Misa is too small to be a guide dog. Bigger breeds are used because some of their duties includes helping with mobility, even disobeying handler when there is danger by physically blocking or maneuvering their handler away like say from a speeding cyclist on a sidewalk.

Question to people in rescue because I really do not know... are there many full time unemployed college student that foster pups? Isn't there out of pocket costs?
