Leader Dogs for the Blind holds a special place in the heart of the Tevra Brands family. Tevra Brands has a passion and a mission that naturally aligns with Leader Dogs for the Blind, which is to help people who are blind and visually impaired travel independently. Tevra Brands and Leader Dogs for the Blind have partnered together to help others live a life without boundaries.
One of the reasons that Leader Dogs for the Blind is special to the Tevra Brands family is because the family includes people with guide dogs. Shanna, who is the blogger for Tevra Brands, is blind and the handler of a guide dog named Diamond. Shanna has worked with guide dogs for over sixteen years. Not only has Shanna benefitted from having a guide dog, she has also trained guide dogs for other people.
The Tevra Brands family has become a puppy raiser for a Future Leader Dog named Nellie. Nellie is named after the first woman adventurer, Nellie Bly, who travelled the world in 72 days. Just like Nellie Bly, our little Nellie is living a life of adventure to reach her destination and ultimately be partnered with a person who is blind or visually impaired.
Tevra Brands is the official flea and tick solution for Leader Dogs for the Blind. We are providing products for all of the puppies being raised in prisons and private households, dogs that are in training or in the breeding program, and ultimately for the individuals who take home their very own Leader Dog.
Leader Dogs for the Blind is a non-profit organization. They rely on generous contributions from individuals, community service groups, and corporations and foundations to fund their programs. The Leader Dogs are provided to people who are blind and visually impaired at no cost to them. This is why we have decided to run a fundraiser for the month of May to celebrate National Pet Month and give back to an important organization.
