The Seeing Eye Inc.

I took a tour recently and was very impressed. One training apprentice explained that trainers are selected on their ability to connect with PEOPLE; this is in sharp contrast to a couple of animal-focused organizations I know that are full of people who say that they hate people but love animals. As a result, their organizations are miserable to visit or do business with.

I think the Seeing Eye has it right!

Pros: People oriented

Cons: none

I lived in Morristown for 10 years and the Seeing Eye is a real presence in the town training their dogs and helping the blind to learn how to handle their guide dogs. I know volunteers who foster their puppies for the first year of their lives. It has to be tough to give up a dog after that amount of time.

I have the utmost respect for this organization.

Pros: Years of good works

Cons: none
