Review for Guiding Eyes for the Blind Inc, Yorktown Heights, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The gift of sight is precious. One most of us take for granted as we make our way through every ordinary day. But there are those among us whose sight is impaired, many to the point of blindness. For them, even the simplest of tasks necessitate varying degrees of assistance to be completed safely and successfully.
Since 1954, Guiding Eyes for the Blind has made it their mission to unite exceptional dogs with individuals with vision loss, allowing them to achieve greater independence, confidence, and hope.
Dogs bred, raised and trained by Guiding Eyes for the Blind provide a lifeline for the sightless to a world filled with possibilities and opportunities previously unattainable.
Not only does Guiding Eyes for the Blind train dogs to become qualified Guide Dogs, they match the dogs with their new owners and train both to become a team, relying one another to meet the challenges in life that await.
No one receiving a dog trained by Guiding Eyes for the Blind is charged a fee.
The work of their skilled trainers and dedicated volunteers is ongoing. But the process requires time, and the cost is high.
Guiding Eyes for the Blind is a non-profit organization and depends upon donations to allow their important work to continue. That’s where you come in.
