About this organization
Mission
Southeastern Guide Dogs transforms lives by creating and nurturing extraordinary partnerships between people and dogs.
About
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, confidence, courage, and independence to people with vision loss, veterans with disabilities and children with significant challenges. That's why we develop extraordinary partnerships between our dogs and the people who need them, and offer our dogs and services at no cost. Our three largest program service accomplishments include:- We ensure the wellbeing of more than 1,100 dogs, including puppies and dogs training on our campus, dogs growing in puppy raiser homes, and active guide and service dogs transforming lives. Over the past 12 months, we placed 138 dogs into important, life-changing careers.- We provide a personal, caring touch through follow-up services to nearly 600 graduates throughout the United States, including guide dog and service dog handlers. Our students-people with vision loss and veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder-report a 99.7% overall satisfaction rating in their exit surveys. And our graduates-people whose lives are impacted dynamically because of our dogs-report a 98.3% satisfaction rating in our annual graduate survey.- We successfully launched our first Camp for Teens in March, so far welcoming nine families to our campus for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Teens and their parents learned about caring for a guide dog, working with a dog in harness, dog obedience, and more. Most of the participating teens have already applied for a guide dog.
