We’re thrilled to announce our newest charity partnership with the Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to breeding, training, and placing world-class guide dogs with people who are blind. Now, with Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation car donations, you can turn your unwanted vehicle into life-changing independence for someone in need.
And here’s something incredible — their first donated vehicle sold for $60,000! That’s a direct, real-world impact made possible by generous donors like you.
About Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation
Founded in 1960 and headquartered in Bloomfield, Connecticut, the Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation has spent more than six decades transforming lives through the partnership of specially bred and expertly trained German Shepherd guide dogs.
Fidelco’s mission goes beyond simply training dogs — they focus on building lasting, meaningful partnerships between guide dogs and the people they serve. The organization uses a German Shepherd breeding program that has been refined over generations, ensuring the dogs possess the intelligence, temperament, and health necessary for guide work.
The training process is equally rigorous. Fidelco’s guide dogs undergo extensive preparation, beginning with early socialization in volunteer puppy raiser homes, followed by specialized training with professional instructors. Once matched with a client, Fidelco provides in-community placement, meaning trainers work directly with clients in their own neighborhoods, helping them adapt to real-world environments.
Clients receive lifetime follow-up services, ensuring ongoing support and care for both dog and handler. All of this is provided at no cost to the client, thanks to the generosity of donors and partners.
Over the years, Fidelco has placed more than 1,600 guide dogs across North America, giving people who are blind greater mobility, independence, and confidence to live active, engaged lives.
