1952 In order to avoid the complications that arise from quarantine restrictions on Mainland-trained guide dogs, a small group of volunteers trained and housed dogs that were donated to be used by the blind or visually impaired Hawaii residents.

1955 The group formally became Eye of the Pacific Guide Dogs, Inc. with an elected Board of Directors. They were supported by generous donations and volunteer help.

1957 The Eye Leased a tract of land in Moiliili for its first training facility with the help of several service organizations (Lions, Elks, and Knights of Pythias, etc.) and Early Territory of Hawaii.

1960 Training facility dedicated, including a groundskeeper's cottage, a guesthouse for outer-island trainees, and kennels for the dogs. Two part-time trainers were hired to care for and train a larger stock of dogs.

1964 Aloha United Way began funding the Eye of the Pacific program.

1972 Eye of the Pacific exhausted the available guide dog candidates in Hawaii and their training facility lease had expired. Guide dog operations were suspended and a part-time trainer was kept on hand to provide follow-up services.

The Eye's Board of Directors decided to reevaluate the program and as a consequence, training policies were reorganized. During the transition trainees were sent to the International Guiding Eyes Guide Dog and Mobility Training Center in North Hollywood, California but once again quarantine restriction problems occurred.

1975 Eye of the Pacific entered into a contractual agreement with the National Guide Dog and Mobility Training Center, now known as Guide Dogs Association of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia.

1977 The Eye of the Pacific, Inc. officially changed its name to The Eye of the Pacific Guide Dogs and Mobility Services, Inc. The Board of directors determined that electronic aids were the mobility of the future and shortly after The Eye of the Pacific donated the first of many electronic aids.

1995 Eye of the Pacific brought in the first guide dog from Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind.

2006 Eye of the Pacific began providing financial assistance for guide dog veterinary care.

2007 Corporation name was changed to Eye of the Pacific Guide Dogs Foundation.
