How GDTX Started
In 1989, Ken and Deborah Baker started Guide Dogs of Texas in San Antonio after a visually impaired friend had to make a perilous journey all the way to New York just to get his guide dog. No Texan should have to travel that far for such a vital service. Fast forward to today, and Guide Dogs of Texas boasts a fully accredited program recognized by the prestigious International Guide Dog Federation (IGDF), putting us among an elite group of programs in the United States. And that's not all—we're also an active member of the North American Council of Guide Dog Schools, further cementing our commitment to excellence.
