In celebration of National Guide Dog Month this September, CSI: Miami stars Eva LaRue and Omar Miller join leading dog food company Natural Balance Pet Foods®, PETCO, and independent pet stores in raising $1,000,000 and awareness for participating guide dog organizations around the U.S.

Through their efforts, the stars of the hit TV show aim to help empower the visually impaired through the gift of guide dogs. “With 10 million visually impaired people in the U.S., the demand for guide dogs continues to grow,” said Miller. “Fortunately, guide dogs can help these individuals remain independent.” And according to LaRue, “Guide dogs are heroes, providing safe mobility, loving companionship and restoring confidence to their handlers.”

Pet owners who wish to support the cause can purchase specially marked bags of Natural Balance dog food available throughout September at any of PETCO’s 1,000 locations around the country or at select independent retailers. Each purchase donates $1 to participating guide dog schools. PETCO shoppers can also “round up” their purchases upon payment to donate the difference, or donate directly at the register or at http://www.petco.com/guidedogs

Proceeds collected for National Guide Dog Month will be donated to the following guide dog training facilities:

Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc.
Guide Dogs of the Desert
Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation, Inc.
Southeastern Guide Dogs
Leader Dogs for the Blind
The Seeing Eye, Inc.
Freedom Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc.
Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind
Guiding Eyes for the Blind
Guide Dogs of Texas, Inc.
