looking into guide dogs! (self.Blind)
submitted by cooliociouss
hey folks!! i’m a partially sighted junior in high school and i’ve been looking into getting a guide dog for quite a few years now but just recently started the process of applying and setting up interviews with guide dog schools.
is there any advice you could offer me in terms of looking at and considering different schools? or anything i should know about being a guide dog handler that i probably wouldn’t think to research and look into?

I suggest you contact the seeing eye Inc. Morristown New Jersey. Since it’s your first dog you’ll have to stay there for approximately 3 1/2 weeks, but considering with the pandemic I don’t know if that has changed. I will tell you getting my dog changed my life. This is my first dog, so I don’t have any schools to compare it to., But blindness runs in my family and two other family members have gone there multiple times. It is a lot of work to have one, but it is well worth it. If you have any questions let me know
