[Colorado-Talk] FW: Help Us Evaluate Access for Service Dog Teams In Your State: Survey Open Now

Tue Nov 11 22:37:14 UTC 2025

Hi NFB Doggers,
Our guide dogs open doors every day. Now we get a chance to open one for each other.
The Seeing Eye has put out a short, fully accessible, very easy 5-minute survey for service dog handlers across the United States. It asks about our real-world access experiences—restaurants, rideshares, stores, transit, and all those moments when the harness and the heart do the work.
Every response helps strengthen advocacy, inform policymakers, and remind the public that access is not a courtesy—it is our right. The more handlers who share our lived experiences, the stronger our collective voice becomes.
It only takes a few minutes. Truly.
Your screen reader will glide right through it.
Your dog can nap, sigh, wag, or supervise.
And yes—feel free to “paw it forward” and share the survey with other handlers you know. The more voices included, the clearer the message.
Survey link: www.seeingeye.org/stateofaccess<http://www.seeingeye.org/stateofaccess>
Deadline: Tuesday, November 25, 2025.
Let’s make sure our experiences are not just stories we tell one another, and instead become the data that drives change.
Tail wags, harness handles steady—
Let’s speak up, together.

Infinite Blessings,
Gail Hamilton

Dear Seeing Eye graduate,

This new 5-minute survey is open to all service dog handlers across the U.S., so feel free to share it far and wide in the U.S. This nationwide effort is designed to collect firsthand data about access experiences with businesses, public transit, rideshares, and more. Your feedback will help us inform policymakers, advocacy organizations, and the public about the state of access for service dog handlers. It's one more way you can advocate for your rights and those of your fellow handlers.

We can't do this without your help! Let's spread the word! Share the survey link with other service dog handlers in your network. You can post it to your social media accounts or service animal groups.

The deadline to participate is Tuesday, November 25, 2025. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and share it widely. Your experiences matter and can help us bring about change.
