Pilot Dogs was established in 1950 as a non-profit 501(c)(3), and we still operate under our original mission: To provide the finest of guide dogs to the qualified sightless. Pilot Dogs provides our guide dogs to the sightless at absolutely no charge. This includes the Pilot Dog, the equipment, three weeks of in-residence training, and round trip transportation.

Description

Pilot Dogs trains and provides guide dogs to qualified sightless individuals. These individuals come to us from all over the United States, as well as many foreign countries. Our Pilot Dogs are trained to offer these individuals greater mobility and independence. Many breeds can be good guide dogs, but Pilot Dogs has found that the following five breeds have had the most success: Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, Standard Poodle, and Doberman Pinscher.
