Graduation - Guiding Eyes for the Blind

Guiding Eyes cares deeply about our mission – to provide guide dogs to people with vision loss. We are excited to present our newest Guide Dog Teams and congratulate all involved! We are grateful to the many volunteers who provided so much and thank all who have worked so hard or supported our efforts in making these teams possible.
