Why Fidelco

"My Fidelco guide dog gave me freedom and
independence that I thought would never be possible.”
This is what we hear from our clients time and again and this desire to live life to the fullest is an important part of our admissions criteria.

The Fidelco difference also includes our wonderful German shepherd guide dogs. Our dogs are a truly a breed within a breed and people with visual disabilities know that they can trust their safety to a Fidelco guide dog.

In-community placement is an important reason for choosing Fidelco. Simply put; why would you want to leave your home, family, friends and job when you can train in your home community with a Fidelco trainer by your side?
It is our sincere hope that as you review the admissions criteria that, ultimately, your choice will be Fidelco. Thank you for your consideration.
