Fidelco dogs
Clea, Lexus, Raja, Deena and Zora have provided Fidelco with over
50 new German Shepherd puppies. Now, we need

your help.

Your generous donation will

enable us continue to breed, train and place the next generation of Fidelco Guide Dogs with men and women who are blind.  Our clients are asking for Fidelco’s help because they desire to lead independent lives.  We’re asking for your help so that Fidelco can provide them with the life-changing experience of freedom and mobility, as only Fidelco Guide Dogs can provide, in a world that presumes the ability to see.

Your financial support is vital so that we can respond to increasing client demand for the highest quality Fidelco German Shepherd Guide Dogs.  Please donate on-line today.  It’s very easy and secure.

On behalf of the entire Fidelco family, thank you for your support.

Fidelco's Dog Days of Summer program is an overwhelming success.

Fidelco trainer Gretchen Fisher Orr takes a summer program participant on a blindfold walk.

More than 50 children, ages eight to twelve, are learning about Fidelco up close and personal. Our Dog Days of Summer program are half-day sessions held at the Fidelco campus in Bloomfield, CT.

Participants learn about guide dogs and their partners, grooming and health care for dogs and much more. They also get to meet and play with Fidelco's adorable pups.

This summer's sessions are sold out but if you'd like to register for next year, contact Jan Adams at 860-243-4801 or e-mail her at jadams@fidelco.org.

Matthew Slaydon and "Legend;"

a New Leash on Life

In October of 2007, Tech Sgt. Matthew Slaydon, USAF (ret.), was investigating a roadside improvised explosive device in Kirkuk, Iraq when it exploded two feet from his face.

Tec. Sgt Matthew Slaydon, USAF retired

Now equipped with a prosthetic left arm and hand and a fierce desire to regain independence and mobility, Slaydon is now training with “Legend,” his Fidelco guide dog.

We honor Matthew's heroism and welcome him into the Fidelco family. And we look forward to serving more veterans with visual disabilities who give their all in service to our country,
