Free of charge, the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind, Inc. (www.GuideDog.org), trains and places guide and service dogs to provide independence, enhanced mobility, and companionship to people who are blind, have low vision, or have other special needs.
The Guide Dog Foundation, an industry leader in guide and service dog training, celebrates its 75th anniversary this year. In 1946, five community leaders founded a guide dog school in Queens, New York, to provide guide dogs at no charge for blind or visually impaired individuals.
