Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind accepts applications from Canadian citizens
or residents of Canada who are visually-impaired.
Anyone over the age of 16, who is in good general health and whose lifestyle
would be enhanced by having a Guide Dog, may apply. Applicants are evaluated
on physical condition, mobility, degree of blindness, and general ability to
care for and work a Guide Dog.
Applicants are interviewed in their homes by a Guide Dog Mobility Instructor
and each applicant is evaluated individually. Successful candidates are placed
on a waiting list until a suitable Guide Dog is available for them.
Accepted applicants undergo a residential training class to learn how to successfully
work and handle their Guide Dog.
Please complete and email the application form to info@guidedogs.ca. The application is also available upon request by calling the National Office at (613) 692-7777.
