As part of its Angel Eyes campaign, Dog Bless You is currently running a Facebook drive to convert Likes into funding to train and gift seeing eye dogs for the blind.
During the month of March, every 5,000 new Likes on Facebook will train one dog; the site’s ultimate goal is 300,000 Likes.
An estimated 47,000 people go blind each year, and approximately 11.4 million Americans are visually impaired, according to the World Health Organization. Seeing eye dogs act as eyes for those with sight problems and provide invaluable companionship.
Other Dog Bless you campaigns include finding companion dogs for U.S. soldiers suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and providing search-and-rescue dogs for areas affected by the recent devastating earthquake in Japan.
