Vision Guide Dogs is a non-profit organization founded in 2022 by a group of volunteers dedicated to making a difference in the lives of individuals who are blind or visually impaired. We raise and train guide dogs to help people experience life more independently and with greater opportunity. In addition to training guide dogs, we are passionate about educating and raising awareness in communities about how to make spaces safer and more accessible to our friends who are blind or visually impaired, whether that’s in their home, workplace, or beyond. At VGD, empathy, kindness, and respect are at the core of everything we do and we continuously seek collaborative partnerships that allow us to affect greater change in the lives of the individuals we serve.
