Pet Emergency & Specialty Center of Marin x Guide Dogs for the Blind

At Pet Emergency & Specialty Center of Marin (PESCM), community partnerships mean showing up in the moments that matter most. For years, the team has worked closely with Guide Dogs for the Blind, providing care to more than 500 dogs at every stage of their lives. From supporting young puppies beginning their training to experienced working dogs who provide life-changing support, the PESCM team has done it all.

One moment best embodies the spirit of this collaboration. During a parvovirus outbreak years ago on the Guide Dogs campus, dozens of vulnerable puppies needed urgent, around-the-clock care. With the ability to safely isolate patients and the expertise to treat complex cases, the PESCM team stepped in without hesitation.

Coming in on days off and staying late, teammates went above and beyond. Because of that dedication, many of those puppies recovered and went on to continue their training, ultimately becoming guide dogs who change lives every day.

This partnership is a powerful example of what’s possible when compassionate care and shared purpose come together.
