Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation We partner people who are blind with expertly trained German Shepherd Guide Dogs. Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation, Inc.

is an internationally accredited nonprofit with locations in Bloomfield and Wilton, CT. Fidelco has placed more than 1,450 guide dogs throughout North America. Each guide dog takes two years, 15,000 hours, and $65,000 to produce – yet all services are provided to clients at no cost. Fidelco relies solely on the generosity and financial support of individuals, foundations, corporations, and civic organizations. Fidelco pioneered In-Community Placement in the United States, a process that allows guide dog users to be trained by professional instructors in the communities where they live and work. Fidelco clients receive 24/7 support for the entire working life of their guide dogs –typically 10 years. In addition, hundreds of German Shepherd Dogs are provided to law enforcement agencies, first responders, and search-and-rescue organizations to help protect our fellow citizens and keep our communities safe.

Our founders, Roberta and Charles Kaman, shared a love for the German Shepherd Dog, which launched the creation of the Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation over sixty years ago. They began breeding German Shepherd Dogs from German bloodlines and founded the Fidelity Breeders Cooperative. Dogs were bred for stamina, health, temperament, and intelligence, and were given to other guide dog organizations for training and placement from 1960 – 1980.

In 1981, Fidelco was formally established as a breeding and training organization, and we’ve been providing our clients with increased independence to improve their lives and the world around them ever since. To learn more about us and our history, check out https://fidelco.org/about/our-history/
