Providing mobility, companionship and independence for the blind

Guide Dogs of the Desert provides mobility, companionship and independence for the blind with custom trained Guide Dogs.

Blindness is a disability that can strike anyone – at any moment, with devastating results. Blindness can happen at birth, from an accident, complications associated with aging, coronary disease, diabetes, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Since 1972, Guide Dogs of the Desert has been making a difference in blind and visually impaired individuals’ lives by graduating more than 800 student /Guide Dog teams. Students that graduate from Guide Dogs of the Desert leave with the gift of newfound confidence, independence, mobility, and infinite smiles.
