We help people who are blind or visually impaired live with greater independence, safety, and mobility.
A Pilot Dog is just the beginning.
Help Change Lives
A Pilot Dog can transform the life of someone who is blind or visually impaired, providing freedom and self-confidence.
Your time and donations make this happen.
