Sounds like you are talking about Guide dogs, or Assistance Dogs. There are many groups for those.

Here is a link to AKC Assistance Programs (http://www.akc.org/love/assistance_programs.cfm)

Listed are contacts for guide dogs for the blind, hearing dogs for the deaf, and general assistance dogs.

Good Luck !!
