Guide Dogs For The Blind
Guide Dogs for the Blind provides enhanced mobility to qualified individuals through partnership with dogs whose unique skills are developed and nurtured by dedicated volunteers and a professional staff.
Established in 1942, Guide Dogs for the Blind continues its dedication to quality student training services and extensive follow-up support for graduates. Our programs are made possible through the teamwork of staff, volunteers and generous donors. Services are provided to students from the United States and Canada at no cost to them.
The dogs and puppies are cared for in
meticulous kennels and state-of-the-art
veterinary clinics. Labrador Retrievers,
Golden Retrievers, and Labrador
Retriever/Golden Retriever crosses are
the breeds used. Professional staff and
veterinarians nurture, groom, train and
prepare the dogs for their futures as
guides.
The Enterprise Lions Club supports Guide Dogs for the Blind which provides graduated training
for seeing eye dogs.
