A dog rescued from an uncertain fate.
A human faced with unique challenges.
Imagine the possibilities.

Our mission is simple. We identify, rescue, and train talented homeless dogs for psychiatric and utility service. We connect partners with a heart for rescue to service dogs that have love and skills to share. And we support that partnership for the long-term—through ongoing training, public education, and research. Interested in learning more about the work, volunteering with the group, or applying for a service partner? Meet us here or join us on Facebook and on Twitter!
