Sponsor a Puppy

[Leader Dog Hopper] is going to impact my life significantly. I will be able to venture out by myself, use Uber and go out on my own. It was awesome just to walk with him down the sidewalk and not have to "feel" everything. I forgot what that was like.

If I want to take a walk, I can. If I want to hop on a bus to have lunch with my husband during his lunch hour, I can. We like to go to the symphony and we can with Sky. Before I got my first [guide] dog, I couldn't even take the trash out.

My life will be so much more independent. I will be able to utilize public transportation instead of having my husband drive me everywhere.

I don't know if words can explain. [Leader Dog Sylvan] is a dream come true. The companionship was unparalleled and the ease of getting around versus using a cane... I'm much more at ease."

[Leader Dog Yoda] will give me back a sense of security as a woman living alone in a big city.

I can get around and do what I want to. [Having Leader Dogs] enabled me to go out; it's enabled me not to end up like my wife's brother. He has [retinitis pigmentosa] and basically shut himself in.

After just this week, I'm in love. I'm going to be able to go a lot of different places. Last night I put all my trust in this dog. I haven't taken a night walk in years. [Leader Dog Rocky] made me so happy I don't believe it. He's so good.
