Freedom Guide Dogs For The Blind, Inc.

The warm weather is back! So are a new group of dogs that are ready to be trained to be Freedom Guide Dogs! These furry heroes will grow up to be a lifeline to blind individuals. Their companionship and love will be an extra bonus in addition to the independence they provide! 

The Foundation contacted me and they could use alittle boost. Please donate if you are able! Your donation will literally change a life. ❤️

Freedom Guide Dogs for the Blind was started by husband and wife team, Eric & Sharon Loori, over 25 years ago! In addition to running a non-profit serving the blind and visually impaired, they are raising three children, including two with Downs Syndrome, one of which they adopted.  Their  state-of-the-art kennel facility has all the amenities to make our guide dogs as comfortable as possible, and is efficiently structured for the training staff. The Training Center offers heated floors, individual drinking fountains, grooming room and barn curtain windows which allow for proper air circulation and also protection from inclement weather. There are also indoor and outdoor runs so the dogs can get plenty of exercise.

Their  puppy enrichment center offers an array of tools to ensure a high level of growth and development during the first few weeks of puppy life. Equipped with heated floors and barn curtain windows (like the kennel), the Puppy Enrichment Center has ample space used for training and socializing the puppies. This is key in the early development stages for guide dogs.

Shaniqua was a free spirited young woman that had a heart of gold.

Shaniqua's true love was dogs. There was nothing that she wouldn't have done for her dogs especially Roxy her guide dog. We know Shaniqua would have wanted
others to be able to have an opportunity to live their lives as independent as she
did, with the assistance of a guide dog for the blind.

Freedom Guide Dogs is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization based in Upstate New
York, which breeds, raises, trains and places guide dogs with the blind and visually impaired through a distinctive program called Hometown Training™.

Freedom Guide Dogs' services are available to people in the Eastern United
States at no cost.
