Lizzy,



I am a freshman in college. I have a guide dog. I received my guide dog from 
Fidelco. Fidelco is a school that has in home placements. This means that 
instead of you traveling to a school to receive training on how to use a 
dog, the dog and a trainer travel to you to trainer you how to use a dog in 
your community.



Another good list to find out guide dog related information and talk to lots 
of other guide dog handlers and people looking into receiving there first 
dog is the National Association of Guide dog Users. To join this list please 
visit http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nagdu_nfbnet.org



HTH

Mark
