We are dedicated to fostering independence for individuals with disabilities by raising and training service dogs. Our efforts in the past year have brought profound improvements to the lives of children with autism by helping achieve milestones that were once thought to be out of reach. We empowered people with mobility challenges to gain more autonomy through the practical support of their canine helpers and provided psychiatric assistance to Veterans enhancing their community involvement. To extend our impact weve expanded our program with more puppies and volunteer raisers thereby increasing the potential number of service dogs we can place in the years ahead.
