Fidelco at a Glance

• Fidelco is New England’s only guide dog
  school. We have clients throughout North America and are dedicated to promoting increased independence to men and women who are blind by providing them with the highest quality German shepherd guide dogs.
  
  
• Fidelco is a 501(c)(3) and 509(a)(1) public charity
  
  
• The demand for Fidelco guide dogs is at
  an all-time high. We attribute this to the
  quality of our dogs (a breed within a breed), our pioneering In-community Placementprogram and our second-to-none client
  follow-up.
  
  
• In 2008, Fidelco received its third, consecutive four star rating from Charity Navigator, the non-profit organization that helps donors make informed giving decisions. According to Charity Navigator, “Only 10% of the charities we rated have received at least three consecutive four-star evaluations, indicating that Fidelco Guide
  Dog Foundation outperforms most charities
  in America in its efforts to operate in the
  most fiscally responsible way possible.”
  
  
• Fidelco has more than 100 foster families
  and are always looking for dedicated
  families and individuals to love, care for
  and socialize our pups.
  
  
• Nearly half the dogs we place each year are successor dogs; dogs that follow in the footsteps of recently retired Fidelco guide dogs.
  
  
• Fidelco is an accredited member of the
  International Guide Dog Federation.
