RECENT NEWS
Blanco GRADUATED AND was placed in Tampa, Florida as a psych service dog
Blanco entered our training program in July, 2021. He was an owner surrender from Houston, TX that passed health testing and became our resident baby daddy to a litter of Golden Retrievers. Blanco spent a considerable amount of time both with staff and with puppy raisers before being specialized as a psychiatric service dog.
He now lives in Tampa and attends University of South Florida with his handler. His new family reports that he is already making such a difference in her life, and gives her a reason to enjoy waking up each day. He graduated on August 3, 2022.
Calvin Graduated and was placed in Villa Grove, Il as an Autism Service Dog
Calvin entered our training program in December, 2021. He was an owner surrender from Sacramento, CA that won everyone over with his even temperament and desire to please. He spent months with three different puppy raisers all over California getting great exposure to hospitals, climbing gyms. preschool events and the local fair.
Morgan is a young man with Autism and seizures that had been on our wait list for two years and was struggling even more with meltdowns since the loss of his Saint Bernard, George. We wanted to match Calvin with this family because of his ability to be tuned into emotions without being fearful during meltdowns, but the family was struggling to fundraise.
Two of our other incredible applicant families unexpectedly rallied around them and decided to donate enough to cover the remaining cost of Calvin. Everyone involved in this placement could not be more grateful to the families that have come together to make this placement a reality for this young teen in need!
Calvin is attending High School with Morgan and graduated on August 14, 2022.

Help Ilana fundraise for Blanco the Psychiatric Service Dog
Help Ilana fundraise for Blanco the Psychiatric Service Dog
Emergency Vet bills pop up randomly, and this fundraiser allows our program to cover these unexpected costs when they arise.
This funding has helped us cover treatment for things like ingested foreign objects, ringworm, hip and elbow dysplasia, and most recently the treatment of one of our service dogs in training that was in a house fire. Without your support, we couldn't do what we do for our dogs in the most stressful of times.

Anya is raising money for a new service dog from us. The service dog in the photo is Maggie. Maggie supported Anya for two years, but was recently retired due to her own health issues. Now she needs to come up with the funds for a new service dog to support with medical alert, mobility, and more. A service dog will help get her independence back! Anya is also one of our volunteers that has raised service dogs for others with disabilities. Now it is time to give back to Anya the way she has for others already.
