Review for Southeastern Guide Dogs, Inc. DBA Dogs Inc, Palmetto, FL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My husband and I moved to Florida eight years ago. We were involved in some organizations in Connecticut for many years. Coming here in Florida was a big move for us but we wanted to become part of the community as well as doing good works. Southeastern Guide Dog has been an adventure! We are now on our sixth puppy, made lots of friends, visit nursing facilities, elementary schools, veteran groups and chair our local Walkathon. This organization has it all, a great staff, accountability for it's spending, a very worthy cause helping the visually impaired , veterans and their families, Veteran Hospitals, Florida Fish and Wildlife and Florida Rescue and so much more. I've attached a photo of our current puppy Wyatt. As a Puppy Raiser we keep our puppy for a year, teaching him house manners and about 30 commands before returning him back to the schools to the professional trainers. When the sight impaired person comes to the school for three weeks of training they are treated with the utmost respect and dignity. The dogs and the training are at no cost to them. Thank you Southeastern Guide Dog for letting us be part of your great organization.
