Our History
Freedom Guide Dogs was founded in 1992 by husband and wife, Eric and Sharon Loori. Freedom Guide Dogs (FGD) is a non-profit 501©3 organization that is dedicated to changing the lives of those who are blind or visually impaired. Based in Central, New York, we breed, raise, train & place guide dogs with individuals who are legally blind through our distinctive training program, Hometown Training™. Our services are provided completely FREE of charge to the recipient!
For over 30 years we have impacted the lives of over 600 people in need. This would not be possible without our hard-working, dedicated, & generous staff, volunteers, Board of Directors, donors, & supporters! THANK YOU.
