Crowded train platforms. Unpredictable sidewalks. Jarring noises. For people who are blind, navigating the world – especially in fast-moving cities – can be difficult, dangerous, and isolating.
That's where Seeing Eye® dogs make a difference. These highly trained dogs don't just guide people through obstacles; they transform their lives through greater confidence, independence, and freedom.
Kay always dreamed of working in Washington D.C. But the city wasn't built with the needs of people like Kay in mind. Thankfully, she found a trusting partner in Verna her Seeing Eye dog. Together, they navigate the busy city with confidence and joy.
Access to a guide dog isn't guaranteed. It takes incredible expertise, extensive training, and significant resources. Since 1929, The Seeing Eye has met that challenge, creating life-changing partnerships between people who are blind and our amazing dogs.
With the support of people just like you, The Seeing Eye:
- Breeds and raises puppies to become Seeing Eye dogs;
- Trains Seeing Eye dogs to guide people who are blind;
- Instructs people in the proper handling and care of their Seeing Eye dogs;
- Conducts and supports research on canine health and development that has benefitted dogs across the world.
