About Southeastern Guide Dogs

When people lose vision, it’s easy to lose hope. When veterans lose hope, it’s easy to give up. It’s easy to let the darkness define life instead of living life to its fullest. 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, throughout the United States. We operate the most advanced training facilities of any service dog organization and employ some of the most talented and innovative scientists and trainers in the world—all because we care about people with vision loss and veterans with disabilities.
