Wanted: Seeing Eye Person

BrunoBruno is a sweet and good natured boy that is permanently blind due to inherited Glaucoma. He has never met a stranger and is always willing to try new things. Though he is blind, he really doesn't need any special accomodations. Bruno is able to navigate his foster home and yard with no assistance, and does very well on a leash with commands. He's just in need of a human to call his own!

Thank You!

A heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in our Great Human Race effort, whether you ran, walked, fundraised, donated, or just spread the word. On race day 30 IAR volunteers braved the rain (really, just a sprinkle) and enjoyed a bit of fun and good humor along the 5k course. Afterwards, we celebrated our tremendous success with brunch at Alivia's. With your help we raised more than $27,000, a total that nearly doubles our previous best effort!
