The Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation, the only guide dog school located in New England, is a non-profit organization based in Bloomfield, Connecticut that breeds, raises and trains German shepherd guide dogs to be placed with blind men and women. The organization was founded in 1960 as the Fidelco Breeder's Foundation and donated dogs to several guide dog schools until 1981, when the current organization was expanded to include a training program. Fidelco is a pioneer in the guide dog field in the U.S. with its unique home-based training program, which makes it possible for a blind person to remain in his/her home environment while being trained with a Fidelco guide dog. Because of this program, Fidelco is able to customize its training to the particular lifestyle, needs and locale of the blind recipient.
