About the Eye Dog Foundation for the Blind, Inc.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide, at no charge, trained German Shepherd guide dogs to the blind and visually impaired for the enhancement of their safety and independence.

A Little Bit of Background

Since 1952, our German Shepherd dogs have been assisting blind individuals all over the world with their daily travels. The dogs provide guidance and safety, as well as loving companionship. You are welcome to see photos of a few of our graduates.

The training center where our students come to meet and train with their new guides is located in Phoenix, Arizona near beautiful South Mountain Park.

On this website you can learn more about fostering a puppy, the training center or our newly remodeled comfortable student dormitory. We also welcome you to take a tour of our facility and its programs.
