Last week, we welcomed friends from Rye Subaru to our Yorktown Heights training campus. They enjoyed a tour of the facilities and a short training demonstration from Jolene Hollister, Team Lead Guide Dog Mobility Instructor and Director of the Running Guides Program, along with guide dog in-training, Dougan.
🦮 💞
We are so grateful to Rye Subaru to be selected as their hometown charity for the @subaru_usa Share the Love event. They presented us with a check for over $24,000 from this year’s event. "Sharing the love" is at the heart of our mission and guide dogs, and we are so thankful for their generous support!

"Ames is so adorable, active, and playful. If he was a human, he’d be the most popular boy in town." -Deborah and guide dog Ames
🐾🐾
Say hello to Ames, this week's featured pup for Transformation Tuesday. Swipe ⬅️ to see Ames all grown up as an official guide dog! Ames recently graduated with first-time handler Deborah, a data analyst from Farmington, Connecticut. Deborah found the experience of our residential training program to be both valuable and engaging. "It was great getting out and about in different environments and having the opportunity to meet people. I was able to learn from the others in the class who were all experienced guide dog users. The training was intensive, but it was good. It touched on so many different things that you are likely to encounter in your daily life, like dining or walking in a busy town."
🐾🐾
Ames got his start in our @geb_orange Puppy Raising Region with his volunteer raisers, Aimee Wilkins and family. Aimee sent us this lovely note about her time raising Ames: "Ames is an amazing, goofy pup. I think one of his greatest strengths was having a sense of human emotions. He always made me smile and would somehow know when I needed a doggy hug. Ames loves to swim and play fetch, as well as see how many balls he can fit in his mouth. Going to Tractor Supply was one of our favorite outings. He always amazes me. He was able to adapt to being back in our home because of COVID, then he returned to training to become a guide dog. Love him always."
