Hoping to add more information about the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind and adding more information on other foundations

For over 70 years, the Guide Dog Foundation has trained and placed guide and service dogs to provide increased independence and enhanced mobility to people who are blind, have low vision or have other disabilities. Once the decision is made to get an assistance dog, applicants become part of the Foundations' open and welcoming community and are supported with an uncompromising commitment to excellence, from highly empathetic and certified trainers, to a meticulously constructed curriculum.

The Guide Dog Foundation pairs each student with the dog that’s right for them – and the power of their bond makes ordinary moments extraordinary. Crossing the street independently becomes a moment of liberation. Traveling alone becomes a welcome adventure. Embracing new experiences becomes an everyday occurrence.1946, when the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind was founded, its mission was simple: to provide guide dogs and training – free of charge – to people who were blind or visually impaired.

have been providing guide dogs since 1946 and service dogs since 2003. We’re the organizations behind Sunny and Charlie, the “Puppies with a Purpose” on NBC’s TODAY morning show and Sully H.W. Bush, President George H.W. Bush’s service dog. We are unique in the assistance dog industry in that we train and provide both guide dogs and multiple types of service dogs - cross-training them when needed.
