Fruitland Park Lions Club provides two $2,000 scholarships each year to Leesburg and Fruitland Park High School students.  Transforming lives and futures throughout our community.

Fruitland Park Lions Club is currently sponsoring Kiva, a puppy in training to become a guiding eye dog for a blind person.  Leader Dog Programs give people who are blind the tools, skills and confidence to travel independently and safely, free of charge.   

This is Kiva.  Kiva will change someone's life!  Kiva will spend the first year of her life with a puppy raiser, who will teach her the basics of being a good "citizen."  Then she will be returned to Leader Dogs for four to six months of  intensive training before she is matched with a person with blindness at no charge.  

 

Fruitland Park Lions Club is currently supporting Canine Companions, who have just celebrated their 50th year of service.  They provide support dogs to adults, children and veterans with disabilities and facility dogs to professionals working in healthcare, criminal justice and educational settings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are sponoring Winston, a puppy in training.  After a puppy raiser guides Winston through the first year of his life with basic obedience and socialization training, Winston will be matched with an individual with need for a support dog.
