Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation

(WTNH) - The Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation is New England’s only guide dog school and is dedicated to promoting increased independence for men and women who are blind by providing them with the highest quality German shepherd guide dogs possible.

Fidelco’s “breed within a breed” utilizes and enhances the German shepherd’s superior traits and adapts them for correctly guiding human partners and keeping them safe.

The organization pioneered the “In-community Placement” program in the United States, which allows clients to be trained to use their guide dogs in their own homes, workplaces, and neighborhoods instead of traveling to a guide dog school for training.

Fidelco currently has clients in 34 states and four provinces in Canada and as the organization moves into the future, its staff, volunteers and supporters keep our co-founder Charles Kaman’s oft-quoted belief close to their hearts. “Failure is not option because the mission is far too important.”
