Free Veterinary Care for Guide Dogs

For Guide Dogs for the Blind

In 2009, the Hind Foundation granted $12,000 to Guide Dogs for the Blind for veterinary care of Guide Dogs in the San Luis Obispo County area. Through this grant, Guide Dogs for the Blind offers guide dogs and training free-of-charge to blind and visually impaired people throughout the US and Canada. They are funded entirely through private donations.
