Service PALS

Our well-bred service dogs facilitate more independence by assisting children, teens and young adults with disabilities — and their families — with their daily needs in the home and community. Each dog receives quality training in specific skills and individual tasks to help mitigate the child’s needs, quickly becoming their new best friend.

  • Each dog is personality- and skill-matched with a child and their family. (Family involvement is necessary!)

​

  • $8,000 fee includes individualized team training, placement of the dog with the family team at graduation and follow-up training for the dog’s life.

Facility PALS

Assisting adult professionals who work with children, teens, young adults with disabilities and their families, facility PALS offer unconditional love and motivation at specific facilities or sites.

  • $3,000 fee includes individualized team training and graduation, with follow-up training as needed.

What our clients say

“The trainings went smoothly. And for the first time in probably two years, I got to experience Mariah’s beautiful genuine smile … Somehow, some way, this pup was the answer to so many questions. He somehow completed Mariah. They had BONDED … Thank you, Nancy, for your passion, for your work, for your kindness, and for helping our daughter experience her life. You are an angel in disguise. Welcome to the family, Bentley. We are SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU!”
