Freedom Guide Dogs for the Blind was founded in 1991 as an alternative to the month-long residential training model of other guide dog training programs. By providing Hometown Training™ on a one-on-one basis in the blind person's home environment, Freedom's groundbreaking program allows blind people who cannot spend time away from home, school, or work to obtain a guide dog with very little disruption to their everyday routine. Freedom Guide Dogs for the Blind provides all training and follow-up services at no charge to the blind consumer. Freedom Guide Dogs is accredited by the International Guide Dog Federation and is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation.
