Hello,
Guide Dogs of America (GDA) also accepts people from other countries.
You will want to contact them to find out what their wait list is and the countries that they accept applicants from.
They are in Sylmar, which is in the Los Angeles area.
Good luck,

The national Federation of the blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want. Blindness is not what holds you back.
