Service companion dog disabilities, including
epilepsy, ADD, brain damage, deafness,
paralysis - and soldiers with PTSD. During 2013, in just our second
year, we placed twenty-one service companions with people who have
special needs; eight of the dogs went to children with autism.
We estimate that there are tens of tspecial needs dog with adult in
wheelchairhousands of children and adults in Israel with a wide range
of disabilities who could benefit greatly by having a highly trained
Service Companion-bred, raised, and prepared to be loving and
responsive to their needs. We work with various agencies to locate
these potential clients.
Developed as a natural offshoot of our core program, our Service
Companion program enables us to provide nearly all our dogs to people
in need-and ensures every one of them receives a good, loving home.
The cost of training a Service Companion is approximately $18,000.
