Providing comfort at the end of life's journey.

Since 1946, the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind has trained and placed guide and service dogs to provide independence, enhanced mobility, and companionship to people who are blind, have low vision, or who have other special needs. The Guide Dog Foundation serves clients from across the United States and Canada. People come to us for our trademark small classes and personalized instruction, and we have successfully worked with individuals who are deaf-blind and those with disabilities other than blindness or hearing impairment. In addition to our guide and service dog programs, the Foundation offers extensive education and outreach programs to broaden the public's understanding of vision and visual impairment, and access and disability rights.

Our mission: ABODE provides a beautiful home and compassionate care for those at end of life, at no charge. We run completely on donations and grants. Guests who come to ABODE are under the care of hospice agencies.

We also offer a robust community education program in which we teach the art of contemplative living and dying. Our vision: We live in a world where death is not feared, and we live fully until we die.
