Our Mission
Guide Dogs of America empowers people who are blind and visually impaired to live with increased independence, confidence and mobility by providing expertly matched guide dog partners.
We provide expertly matched guide dog partners to blind and visually impaired adults from the U.S. and Canada, instruction in how to work with the dog as a team, and a lifetime of support services – all at no cost.
Your donations help create life-changing partnerships that empower the blind and visually impaired to navigate safely and confidently, a loyal and loving pair of guiding eyes right by their side. Make a difference!
There are many ways to get involved, from raising one of our puppies, to volunteering on our campus, to spreading awareness in your community. If you want to give your time, find out more about how you can help!
Beware: Continuous viewing of the puppies at play can be habit forming.
