The current cohort of dogs in Advanced Training are all on track to graduate in October. We are excited to introduce you to the class and invite you to follow along with their progress. Meet Roni, Hank, and Piper....Class of 2024!! It costs $400 a month to cover the costs of one of these dogs during their advanced training. Your donations help to cover these costs, so we can be sure our clients are getting the best quality and healthiest guide dogs possible.

It's TODAY!! Starting at 6pm Big Give 2024 officially kicks off, but don't hesitate to give now. Early giving is open! The real success of The Big Give will not be how much money we raise but the tremendous impact those dollars will have when nonprofits across South Central Texas put them to work! Join the giving on September 18-19 at https://lnkd.in/g-GDbtqK and search for Guide Dogs of Texas.

We’re so excited to be a part of The Big Give! You can support our campaign by visiting https://lnkd.in/g-GDbtqK and donating on September 18-19. Mark your calendars, set your alarms, ask your friends for a reminder because you won't want to miss out on this amazing opportunity to help more people like Carley pictured below. Carley was matched with Oscar in October of last year and since that time she has made regular outings to some of her favorite places including a community center and church. She enjoys the enhanced independence and mobility Oscar has helped bring to her life by being more confident at maneuvering intersections and traffic. She and Oscar even recently participated in the community theater play together. Talk about freedom!

We were thrilled to have Girls on the Run of Bexar County out to our site for a visit and some puppy time!

Did you catch Guide Dogs of Texas on KENS 5 Saturday Morning? CEO, Patrick Glines and 13-month-old Argo, a Guide Dog in Training, talked with Vanessa Croix and Maggie Laughlin about the origin of his passion for Guide Dogs and how the community can get involved with Guide Dogs of Texas. You won't want to miss this interview! Thank you Argo Group for your support in sponsoring this amazing pup! We are excited about the progress he is making and can't wait to see him continue on his training journey! #GuideDogs #CommunitySupport #TexasServingTexans https://lnkd.in/gS9U39WN

🏆 And Hank takes the lead - fueled by support! 🏁 For a while, Rio held the top spot, but thanks to your incredible donations, Hank has surged ahead. 🐾 Will he be the first Advanced Training dog to reach and exceed their fundraising goal of $2,500? Your contributions are not just numbers; they directly contribute to our guide dog training program, ensuring these remarkable dogs receive the extensive care they need — from training and specialized equipment to veterinary care and nutrition — to become dependable guides for our clients. Our target is to raise a minimum of $2,500 for each dog in training. Each donation, no matter the size, plays a crucial role in our mission to provide well-trained guide dogs to those in need across Texas. 🐶💙 Let's continue to support Hank and his peers on their journey to make a life-changing difference!

📊 Check out our fun pic graph to see how much has been donated for each pup so far for our Advanced Training Dogs campaign. We’re making paws-itive strides, but we need your help to reach our goal of $2,500/dog! 🚀 Can we get any of our furry friends to the finish line? Let’s rally together and make it happen! 🎯 Leaderboard Update: Some of you may notice that Holly is no longer on the leaderboard. Our training team did an initial assessment of the Advanced Training dogs and, unfortunately, Holly won’t be continuing in the program. While she’s an amazing dog, we always prioritize the safety and happiness of our clients and dogs. 🐕 For those who donated to Holly, rest assured, your contributions are still making a huge impact! Each dog’s journey from puppy to partner requires extensive care and resources, and every penny goes towards supporting their development and well-being. 🌟🙏 Let’s keep the momentum going and help these incredible dogs reach their goals! 🏅 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gnXyeJe7 (or scan QR code on picture), and don't forget to pick the team you're supporting.
