Founded in 1992 by husband and wife Eric and Sharon Loori, Freedom Guide Dogs has spent more than three decades helping individuals who are blind or visually impaired experience greater independence, confidence, and freedom through the partnership of a guide dog. 

At the heart of our work is the belief that every individual deserves the opportunity to live life with greater independence, confidence, and the freedom to pursue their own goals. We recognize that no two individuals are alike, and we are committed to creating partnerships that reflect each person’s unique needs, abilities, and lifestyle. 

Every puppy is purposefully bred and lovingly raised, and every guide dog is carefully trained and thoughtfully matched with the individual they will one day serve. From the earliest stages of puppy development to the formation of a working guide dog team, each step is guided by our commitment to building successful, lasting partnerships. 

Through our unique Hometown Training™ program, we bring personalized instruction directly to our clients, allowing them to learn alongside their new guide dogs in the familiar surroundings of their own homes and communities. We are especially proud to serve individuals who have additional disabilities alongside blindness or visual impairment, adapting our instruction to support their individual needs.

Every puppy purposefully bred and raised, every guide dog trained and placed, and every hour of personalized instruction reflects our commitment to making independence more accessible. Our guide dogs and all accompanying training are provided at absolutely no cost to the individuals we serve. 

As we look toward the future, we remain dedicated to strengthening our programs, expanding our reach, and creating more opportunities for individuals to expereince the life-changing partnership of a guide dog.
