Those who are blind know the world through sound, through scent, and through taste, but much of what we know comes through touch. It is the precious touch of a devoted guide dog that is instrumental in improving the lives of many blind individuals seeking greater independence and freedom. Today, over 8,000 specially trained Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds serve as loyal and loving partners on which their handlers can depend to assist them in living an enhanced quality of life.

Guide Dog Users of Arizona (GDUA) strives to provide continuing assistance in strengthening the relationship between the blind handler and their dog and to promote the acceptance of guide dog teams throughout Arizona. Your generous touch enables GDUA to focus our energies and resources on solutions to the challenges of working with our beloved guides.

There are many ways in which you can help to ensure that GDUA continues to make a difference in the lives of blind individuals and their special partners!

You can make a tax- deductible gift to our organization, which helps GDUA offer support, advocacy, and mentoring to all of Arizona's guide dog teams. For more information on how to share your gift with our non-profit organization, please send an email to info@gdua.org

GDUA can always use a few helping hands and drivers at our conventions, fundraisers, and other activities. If you have an interest in helping us by volunteering your time please send an email to secretary@gdua.org

Our non-profit organization is interested in hearing from others that have experience with and knowledge of things such as lobbying, fund raising, and public relations. If you feel that we could benefit from your experiences and knowledge of these types of issues please send an email to secretary@gdua.org
