 Dear Graduate,

      Leader Dogs for the Blind is announcing that effective immediately we are reducing our transfer of ownership policy from two years to one year for our guide dog clients (with the exception of clients from Spain and Brazil, who follow their local organization's procedures).

      The previous policy that required clients to apply for ownership after working with their dog for two years was put in place in 2007 to address the growing number of working Leader Dogs who were overweight or obese. "The reason for the change is that over the past seven years, this problem has diminished as our clients have become more proactive at regulating their dogs' weight," said Will Henry, Leader Dog director of client services.

      The new policy grants automatic ownership, without the need to apply, to clients one year after their graduation date if they are in good standing (not on probation, and with no complaints on file).

      Current clients (in good standing) who have had their Leader Dog longer than one year will receive automatic ownership as of May 1, 2014. Clients (in good standing) who received their Leader Dog after May 1, 2013 will receive automatic ownership one year after their graduation date.

      If you have questions about the ownership of your Leader Dog, please contact your client services coordinator at 888-777-5332.

      Sincerely,
      Leader Dogs for the Blind
