Why choose us for a guide dog?
For people with vision loss, choosing a guide dog school is a life-altering decision. We want people to overcome fear, realize what’s possible, and imagine a beautiful dog with a wagging tail guiding them to independence.
Why choose us for a service dog?
For veterans with PTSD and other disabilities seeking a solution to the challenges they face, the decision to apply for a service dog can be a tough one. But deciding where to apply to get one shouldn’t be.
To get the best, select the best.
