CONNECTING Dogs TO MAKE A BETTER life
Providing Constant Companions to Assist Those Who Can Use a Little Help
Service Dog Donation Program
We understand how much of an impact a trained service dog can have on those living with disabilities. As such, we are proud to be able to provide quality service dogs for individuals who need them. We offer a variety of trained service dogs to assist individuals with mobility and stability issues, hearing impairments, seizure disorders, autism spectrum disorders as well as post traumatic stress disorders (PTSD).
We have more than a decade of experience in pairing the right dog with their new handler. Our application, selection and rigorous training process helps us to provide some of the best service dogs available.
We understand that each person’s needs are unique and as such, we work with a variety of breeds to best suit the needs of the individual.
