This September, in honor of National Guide Dog Month, we’re coming together to raise funds for Freedom Guide Dogs—because every guide dog begins with a community of people who care.
Did you know it costs more than $30,000 to raise and train a single guide dog? From birth to placement with someone who is blind, every step of the journey depends on generous supporters like you. Your gift, no matter the size, directly helps cover the real costs of creating these life-changing partnerships:
$50 provides a month of food for a growing puppy.
$100 supplies a puppy raiser with training tools and equipment.
$250 covers veterinary care to keep our dogs healthy and strong.
$500 supports a month of hands-on training with our professional guide dog instructors.
$1,000 sponsors a puppy through its first year with a volunteer raiser.
$5,000 funds advanced training as a dog learns the specialized skills to guide safely.
$30,000 makes it possible to take a guide dog from birth all the way to placement with a person who is blind—at no cost to them.
Every donation helps transform a playful puppy into a confident working guide, and every dollar brings us closer to giving someone who is blind greater freedom, mobility, and independence.
Join us this National Guide Dog Month—start a fundraiser, make a gift, or cheer on a team. Together, we can change lives one harness at a time.
