Monica,
I live in Kentucky and I have gotten my last guide Dog from them. They do not
care where the person is from.
Good luck.

Thanks for the info. I'll check into it. We live in Maryland, I wonder if
they would take someone from the East Coast. Guess I'll find out.

A friend of mine with a great deal of vision and was gradually losing it
had a guide dog. It pays for your daughter to check with a different provider.
I have a similar problem. In the past, I was told by DVR that I had too much
vision and that they couldn't pay for readers, reading equipment, etc. Now, I
am in graduate school and am doing fine without their help.

Monica,
I have a Guide Dog. In fact he is my fourth guide.
I would strongly suggest that your daughter contact Guide Dogs for the
Blind and discuss this with them. I believe it a good idea to talk with more
than one guide provider just as you would for medical treatments.
She can find a great deal of info and contact info on their website at:
www.guidedogs.com
I wish your daughter the best of luck.

My daughter was turned down for a guide dog from the Seeing Eye
because they felt she has too much vision to safely use a guide dog. She is
devastated and my heart breaks for her. I know there are several members of
this list who work with and know much more than I do about training and working
with guide dogs. I'm hoping some of you kind people will email me off list.
I'd like to ask whether it makes sense to apply elsewhere. I'd also like the
names of some books about training Guide Dogs so my daughter can better accept
the rejection though understanding. She's in her second year college. I think
the administration at the small liberal arts college she attends in
Pennsylvania are going to be disappointed. They were so excited about
supporting her that they'd already set aside a rare single room in a dorm suite
for her and "the dog".
