A dog changes everything.
Our dogs offer hope. They change lives. And they help those who need them most. We offer guide, service, skilled companion, and therapy dogs for people in need of a helping paw—a no-cost gift that makes all the difference.
Meet the dogs, the people, and the powerful bonds that grow between them. See how a dog changes everything.
Extraordinary Dogs. Exceptional Care. Always Free.
We believe the people who need our dogs most should never have to worry about the cost.
That’s why every guide and service dog comes with more than world-class training. Each team receives ongoing support—online and in person—along with the care and tools they need to move forward with confidence.
Thanks to generous partners like Fromm Family Pet Foods, Elanco, and others, working dogs receive dog food, preventatives, vaccinations, routine veterinary care, and help with unexpected medical expenses. They also receive local transportation through Uber and Uber Pets.
Guide dog graduates also receive smart glasses—and the training to use them—opening new ways to experience the world.
Because hope should never come with a price tag.
