Southeastern Guide Dogs

When people lose vision, it's easy to lose hope. When veterans lose hope, it's easy to give up everything. It's easy to let darkness define life instead of living life to its fullest. Our dogs deliver hope to people who need it most.* We currently ensure the wellbeing of nearly 1,300 dogs, including puppies and dogs training on our campus, dogs growing in puppy raiser homes, and active guide and service dogs transforming lives throughout the country. Over the past 12 months, we placed 140 dogs into important, impactful careers.* We provide a personal, caring touch through follow-up services to almost 700 graduates throughout the United States. Our students-people with vision loss and veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder-report a 99.9% overall satisfaction rating in their exit surveys. And our graduates-about 700 people who have one of our dogs-report a 99.1% satisfaction rating in our annual graduate survey.* Southeastern Guide Dogs operates the most comprehensive alumni support of any service dog organization in North America. Thanks to partnerships with Fromm Family Pet Food, Elanco and private donors and veterinarians, the organization now ensures that every graduate can receive-completely free of charge-high quality dog food, monthly preventatives, vaccinations, and financial support for their veterinary needs.
