TSE Gift Basket 020

The Seeing Eye is the oldest guide dog school in the world. Since 1929, The Seeing Eye has partnered with people who are blind by assisting them in enhancing their independence, dignity and self-confidence through the use of Seeing Eye® dogs. Twelve times a year, as many as 24 students at a time visit the Morristown, N.J. campus to discover the exhilarating experience of traveling with a Seeing Eye® dog. More than 15,500 specially bred and trained dogs have brought a new level of mobility, safety, and self-sufficiency to more than 8,000 men and women throughout the United States and Canada.

Our students – people who are blind or visually impaired – come from all over the United States and Canada to spend up to a month training with a new Seeing Eye® dog. They range in age from 16 to senior citizens, their home environments may be rural or urban, and they may be homemakers, volunteers, or judges. But they all have this in common: They are motivated by a sense of independence and armed with the knowledge that Seeing Eye® dogs will provide an extra edge to attain success, however they may choose to define it.

Our giveaway gift basket includes:

1 Collar (winner chooses size): Four sizes of collars have custom-design ribbon art featuring all breeds of Seeing Eye dogs. Created for The Seeing Eye by Up Country, the 1″-wide collars are constructed of high-tensile nylon webbing with stain resistant ribbon sewn on one side. Quick-release buckle closures and solid brass hardware.

1 6-foot leash: This 6’standard leash features an attractive design which illustrates the growth of Seeing Eye® pups. Created for The Seeing Eye by Up Country. It’s 1” wide and matches the collar.

1 Key Ring: Developed especially for The Seeing Eye by Up Country®, this key ring features an attractive design, woven in ribbon, which illustrates the growth of Seeing Eye® puppies – from puppies to partners – on a field of green grass with a bright blue sky. Key rings are 1” wide by 5.25” long.

1 Car Magnet: The Seeing Eye car magnet is hard to miss. A full-color picture of four Seeing Eye dogs and puppies sitting on a field of green grass with a bright blue sky behind them.
