Application Information

We are currently ONLY accepting applications for our Co-Train program, unless you are a client who has previously received a dog from us. and it is deceased/retired.  We are sorry for the inconvenience, but, it’s critical to the integrity of our small program that we do not over commit.

Please check back in January 2023 if you wish to submit an application for a fully trained mobility or psychiatric service dog.   Please read the FAQ and Fee sections before submitting your application.
