About Guide Dogs of America

Guide Dogs of America is dedicated to its mission to provide guide dogs and instruction in their use, free of charge, to blind and visually impaired men and women from the United States and Canada so that they may continue to pursue their goals with increased mobility and independence. Guide Dogs of America provide the blind and visually impaired with independence, companionship, confidence and freedom.

History

Guide Dogs of America was founded over 60 years ago by Joseph Jones, Sr. (a retired member of the IAMAW) with the help of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW or IAM)

When Mr. Jones became blind, he considered all his options and decided his mobility needs would best be met by using a guide dog. He applied to all the existing schools, but he was declined because of his “advanced age”. He was only 57 years old.

Mr. Jones was a determined man and “no” was not a word in his vocabulary. He turned to the IAM for help, soliciting assistance from the IAM’s Executive Council. The IAM Executive council conducted extensive research, determined there was a growing need for guide dog services, and therefore endorsed the founding of International Guiding Eyes (IGE) In 1948. The IAMAW continues to be a generous supporter and staunch advocate of the school’s mission today.

IGE was one of the first guide dog schools to be founded by a blind individual. It was also one of the first schools to adopt a policy of no upper age discrimination.

In 1992, International Guiding Eyes changed their “doing-business-as” name to Guide Dogs of America in an effort to communicate more clearly the services provided by the organization. Now the organization operates under the name Guide Dogs of America as an International Guiding Eyes Program. Today Guide Dogs of America seeks new and better ways of helping the blind community.

How Can You Help Guide Dogs of America?

Your contribution of time and/or money helps them provide guide dogs free of charge to blind individuals. With the gift of a guide dog, these men and women are better able to pursue their goals, fulfill their dreams, and participate in their communities. Guide dogs not only provide the gift of increased independence, confidence, and mobility, but they also act as a trusted companion providing new opportunities for social interaction. Help make a difference in the life of a blind individual in the form of a loving, four pawed partner today.

Why Give? Guide Dogs of America is a nonprofit organization that is supported by the generosity of individuals, foundations, corporations, and other organizations in their mission to provide loyal and loving guide dogs free of charge to blind and visually impaired individuals.

With nearly 80% of all the funds they receive going directly to program services, you know your money is well spent. They do not receive any funding from local, state or federal government.

The cost to provide one guide dog and match it with its new blind partner is $42,000.00. Your gifts help them fulfill their mission and reflect your own personal desire to help others live more independently with the loving partnership of a guide dog.

What Does Your Gift Help Provide? Every gift, no matter the amount, is greatly appreciated and helps them continue their important services to the blind community.

What Are Ways To Give? There are many ways to help Guide Dogs of America provide these extraordinary guide dogs to blind individuals who wish to live more independently. Here are some ways you can give and help their cause! You can provide a monetary donation or volunteer!

Your dog does not have to be a Golden Retriever to love a good game of fetch.  Fetch is a great form of exercise and helps promote bonding with man's best friend. But before you partake in an energetic game of fetch you must first teach your dog how to play. It is true that some dogs learn faster then others, while others have mastered the art of the ball chase but not the retrieval. The key to a good game of fetch is not only teaching your dog to run after the ball, but how to bring it back. Like any dog training we do recommend teaching your dog how to fetch at a younger age. If your older dog has not mastered the art of fetch no worries you can still teach an old dog new tricks!

1. Give the dog the ball to smell. Let the dog hold the ball in its mouth, sniff it and bat it around. This helps the dog grow comfortable with the ball.

At Best Bully Sticks we consider your pets part of our pack and family. Like our beloved pugs Sushi & Espy, we only want to give your furry family member the best in healthy, safe pet products. We are constantly searching for the best of the best so if you have any feedback or product suggestions please let us know. So here is what’s new on the site and in our wag of the woods! Please be sure to check out our barkworthy new products for everything we have added in the last month.

Introducing Beef Trachea- Made in the USA

Introducing new Beef Trachea from Best Bully Sticks, exclusively Made in the USA! They are just as tasty, crunchy, delicious, and long-lasting as our other Tracheas, just made right here in America!

These Beef Tracheas are extra long-lasting as they are large trachea chews, varying in size from 8" to 13" inches. They are a bit greasy but full of flavor, as all trachea chews are, so we recommend you feed them to your dog outside.

Trachea are probably the most exciting dog chew on the market right now. They are sometimes referred to as "moo-tubes" or "windies". They are a hollow chew that last a long time. Trachea are high in both chondroitin and glucosamine (These naturally occurring agents have both been proven as effective in promoting healthy joints in dogs). Give them a try at Best Bully Sticks, and we are sure that you won’t be disappointed!

Our Made in the USA Beef Trachea come in packs of 25 and 50.

Be a voice, email us if you know of a deserving animal rescue or charity that should be spotlighted and recognized. There’s no disputing animals have always had a positive impact on their owners’ lives. Now, evidence suggests four-legged friends are a real health benefit for elderly people, helping them live longer, healthier and happier lives. With that said, we are proud to spotlight “Pets for the Elderly Foundation”. Pets can help people get over the loss of a loved one, depression, and remind them that they are loved and needed, so for the elderly and homeless pets, this charity is a win win. Thanks for joining friends together for life!

About Pets for the Elderly Foundation

The most serious disease for older persons is not cancer or heart disease - it's loneliness. Pets offer affection, unconditional love, fight loneliness, and can help ease the loss of a loved one. Their mission is to give both a lonely, elderly person and an innocent, unwanted animal the gift of health and happiness through companionship.

The Pets for the Elderly Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, helps pay the fees to participating animal shelters throughout the United States for senior citizens (age 60 and over) who adopt a companion dog or cat from a participating shelter — including pre-adoption veterinary exams and spay/neuter, if part of the adoption fee.

Pets For the Elderly began in Cleveland in 1992, and expanded nationally in 2001 with a goal of saving as many companion animals as possible from euthanasia. They have a small staff, and all administrative costs are paid by the organization's founder. Currently there are 55 participating shelters in 29 states. Many more shelters would like to participate, shelters are added as funding becomes available. In 2010, the Pets for the Elderly Foundation assisted with the adoption of 5,770 companion animals. Their goal is to save the lives of 7,500 companion pets annually, while enhancing the lives of an equal number of senior citizens.

They urgently need your help! Your monetary donation can make a difference. Few causes can have the potential benefits that will result from your contribution. You not only save the life of an animal, you can make a dramatic difference in the life of an elderly person.

How can you help Pets for the Elderly?

The Pets for the Elderly Foundation helps with the cost of adoption of a companion animal by a senior citizen - thus reducing the number of animals in shelters. and providing companionship, health and happiness to senior citizens. You can make a difference in the lives of seniors – and in the lives of discarded pets – by making a donation to Pets for the Elderly. Your heartfelt monetary donation will help allow even more shelters to participate in this bark-worthy cause. By supporting this charitable foundation, you can give a senior citizen and pet a new lease on life.
