The Guide Dog Foundation provides guide dogs to blind people all over the world. It is located in Smithtown, New York on Long Island. The school has been around for over fifty years.
Most graduates return after retiring their dogs.
GDF is a small school without many frills or huge campuses. What it lacks in frills it makes up for in heart. As any graduate will tell you, there is a feeling of family. One of the hardest decisions in a blind person's life is whether or not to get a guide dog. Getting a guide requires an acceptance of responsibility like no other.
