Humans and dogs have always shared a special bond. For us, that bond is most powerful when a dog helps someone in need.

We train and place dogs to support people with physical disabilities, autism and PTSD. Our dogs provide independence, confidence and connection – transforming not just individual lives, but whole families and communities.

Each dog takes two years to train and costs over $60,000. Yet every Assistance Dog is placed free of charge, thanks to the generosity of the public.
