Guide Dogs of America
 
Guide Dogs of America is dedicated to its mission to provide guide dogs and instruction for use, free of charge, to blind and visually impaired men and women from the United States and Canada, so that they may continue to pursue their goals with increased mobility and independence. They have dedicated trainers that go through a very intense training program to become licensed by the California State Board of Guide Dogs for the Blind. Before they can get certified, the instructors must complete a three year apprenticeship under a licensed instructor at a certified guide dog school.

July - August 2008
When I was younger, I went on a field trip to Guide Dogs of America. When I was given the opportunity to select a charity of the month, I remembered that field trip to their facility and through a online search engine found them! It was a great experience revisiting them and seeing how much work really went into training guide dogs. Here at The Sofa Company, we have so many pet friendly fabrics that it was hard to decide! Guide Dogs of America chose a small sectional in a durable micro velvet to put in their newly remodeled facility. What a great joy it was to give back to the people who commit so much to enabling the blind.
