    Organization Mission

    Southeastern Guide Dogs transforms lives by creating and nurturing extraordinary partnerships between people and dogs. We operate the most advanced training facilities as our experts breed, raise, and train elite working dogs-including guide dogs, service dogs, and skilled companion dogs-and provide life-changing services for people with vision loss, veterans with disabilities, and children with significant challenges. We have successfully created thousands of guide and service dog teams throughout the U.S. since 1982, and oversee over 1,200 puppies and dogs.

    All of our services-which include research on canine health & development; selective breeding; expert dog training; on-campus student instruction; and the most robust alumni support program in N. America-are provided at no cost. Donations sustain our mission and give freedom and hope to people who need it most. We are dually accredited by the International Guide Dog Federation and Assistance Dogs International.
