How we serve
Dogs for Dementia
Our puppies are socialized and start training as soon as they arrive from the breeders.
They are placed with puppy fosters who meet for DfD training classes once a week to learn basic training and house manners to beginning task training.
When they are 8 months, they will be returned to our facility, where our trainers will complete the advanced training.
Rescues & Training
Our rescues go directly to a prison dog program. These organizations train house manners and skills which help us determine which rescue dogs are suitable for further service dog training.
Dogs that don’t qualify for service dog training, will be available for adoption and will be excellent, well-trained pets.
Prison Dog Programs are wonderful training experiences for the dogs as well as for the inmates.
More about this program to come.
Paws for Mind
Paws for Mind will be started in our Stage Two of growth.
For those with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) due to concussive injuries to the brain.
How we are different
Reduced wait time
Because Alzheimer’s and other dementias are degenerative, you can’t wait for years to receive your fully-trained service dog. We are working to put in place procedures to reduce the wait time to 6 to 12 months.
Testing before placing
To be certain you receive only the best trained service dog, we have a third-party complete thorough testing on each dog before we will place with a family.
Lifetime Support
We will be here for you whenever you have a question or issue involving your service dog. By phone, email or Skype, our trainers are available to you.
