As Guiding Eyes continues to navigate the pandemic

We are pleased to announce a new initiative- the G

We are pleased to announce a new initiative- the Guiding Eyes for the Blind Youth Program is designed to provide children who have vision loss with specially-selected career change dogs, completely free of charge.
🐶
Each dog will be primarily a pet in the household, providing the family with an opportunity to build the child’s confidence and understanding of the responsibility of what it is like to live with and care for a guide dog, should they choose to use a guide dog in the future. The program also welcomes the family to experience the joy and companionship that the dog provides.
🐶
Unlike a guide dog, the career change dog is not trained to perform any guiding tasks or functions that a service dog has been trained to perform. Therefore, the Guiding Eyes for the Blind Youth Program dog is not a service animal and is not eligible for access rights granted by the ADA to places of public accommodation. The dog may travel as a pet to places where pets are commonly allowed, but may not be certified as an emotional support or therapy animal.
🐶
