Eyes, Ears, Nose And Paws

Our Mission

We seek to increase the supply and specialties of highly-trained Assistance Dogs available to meet the challenges, particularly medical challenges, encountered by individuals and our society as a whole. Our Service Dog program provides trained assistance dogs to individuals with mobility impairments for the purpose of increasing the recipients' independence. Our Medical Detection Dog program provides Diabetic Assistance Dogs to individuals with diabetes for the purpose of improving each individual's healthcare. Our programs are "open-source" and we are committed to freely sharing what we learn through our work. We do this because we believe that sharing ideas, techniques, and research will encourage innovation, growth and high standards in the Assistance Dog industry, ultimately benefiting both clients and their dogs far more than a narrower focus on our organization would.
