Making a Difference
Our Mission
Guide Dogs of the Desert provides mobility, companionship, and independence for the blind with custom-trained Guide Dogs. These life-changing partnerships are formed to meet the individual needs of each handler and their Guide Dog.
Independence is Priceless
All of our Guide Dogs are provided free to our students. Their extensive training is funded by your generous donations and countless hours of volunteer efforts.
Training for Students
Once a student is matched with a Guide Dog, they attend a 28 day training course where they learn all aspects of living and working with their new Guide Dog.
