What Does Southeastern Guide Dogs Do?

Southeastern Guide Dogs conducts research into breeding the dogs with the best temperaments for guiding the visually impaired and comforting veterans in Sanford and Deltona. Your dollars go to support this vital research, and so much more. 

Southeastern Guide Dogs also trains each of its guide and service dogs for two years. Once a dog is fully trained, it's carefully homed with the owner. In fact, their clients attend several weeks of training, so they can build a bond with the right dog and learn how to make use of the skills their service and guide animals can provide.
