Fire News
Thank you for all your help and concern with the dog evacuation due to the fires in the Sylmar in November. Our facility and animals are fine, safe & have been returned to GDA. Our heartfelt thanks to all who took dogs into their homes for the weekend, or were there offering to lend a hand in any way. You are our heroes!!!

"PLANNING" TO GIVE TO GDA
In an effort to keep our supporters up-to-date on current issues involving estate planning and planned giving, Guide Dogs of America has added a "Gift Planning" page to our web site. This page offers information about how to "Build Your Gift", receive e-Brochures on topics including gift annuities, year-end giving, estate planning starters, and read informative monthly feature articles on timely topics such as the new charitable IRA legislation, retirement planning, charitable gift annuities, and endowments.
To learn more about the options available to you for planned giving, please click to visit our Gift Planning page.
