Have you ever seen a blind person on the street and had the uncomfortable feeling of wanting to help but not knowing what to do? Well, here are the things you can do for all blind people.

First, tell them about Leader Dogs for the Blind, where they can acquire confidence, ability and companionship through a Leader Dog.

Second, when you are asked to support Lions Clubs Projects, give as much as you can. Lions are instrumental in helping the blind in whatever way may be possible.

About Leader Dogs

Founded in 1939 by Lions Club members, Charles Nutting, Don Schuur and S.A. Dodge, Leader Dog has successfully matched and graduated over 13,000 person / dog teams since its inception. The dream of these men became vision and independence for thousands.

The dedicated staff at Leader Dog is over 100 strong. The facilities, located on the original 14 acres first purchased by the founders, have morphed from a farm with numerous outbuildings to a superb residence center, a stellar kennel, and well manicured grounds. This complex is home to our students, dogs, all services departments and the support staff that enable Leader Dog to enhance the lives of blind and visually impaired individuals from all over the world.

The stories affirming the impact of Leader Dog services are endless. As the wheels of time continue to turn, so do the advancements of Leader Dog. Services to assist in job skills and living skills education are on the immediate agenda. Their ultimate goal is to be recognized as a full service resource center for individuals who are blind and visually impaired. Their vision is to become the most innovative and forward thinking organization in the profession.

Strong Lion Ties

Lions have the privilege of offering Leader Dogs to all who are eligible. Lions help spread the word that blind people who wish to be free and mobile can have a Leader Dog for the asking. Any Lions Club member can write on behalf of a blind candidate to obtain an application.
