Founded in 1982, Southeastern Guide Dogs is a nonprofit organization that raises, trains, and matches guide dogs with the visually impaired. Through their programs Paws for Independence™, Paws for Patriots™, and Gifted Canines™ they have more than 600 active guide dog teams across the nation and continue to add more than 70 teams annually, all at no charge to the recipient and with no government funding, thanks to the generous support of donors such as explore.org and volunteers.
Southeastern has created more than 2,500 guide dog teams since inception, providing mobility and independence to people in need. They are one of only twelve guide dog schools in the United States and the only one in the southeast.
