About Us

Since 1942, Guide Dogs for the Blind has empowered lives by creating partnerships between people, dogs, and communities. With world-class client services and a robust network of instructors, puppy raisers, donors, and volunteers, we prepare highly qualified guide dogs, provide guide dog readiness skills, and offer youth programs to empower individuals who are blind or visually impaired.

GDB not only improves mobility for our clients, we further inclusion. Our passionate community employs innovative practices to create life-changing partnerships. And, we advocate for the policy reforms that change how the world views blindness and disability. Because when everyone is empowered to participate, our communities are stronger.

We rely solely on your support and receive no government funding.
