Meet our family,

Ivar the Doberman

is my mobility dog & active diabetic alert.

I suffer from Muscular Dystrophy & Diabetes he is a dual purpose service dog!  He is a confirmed Diabetic Alert service dog.  He has also actually alerted TWO times on two different women who had Breast Cancer

who were completely unaware!

Not only beautiful, but he is an overachiever!

in the best way! ;-)

 

Timber, the Belgian Malinois 

We rescued from Hood Co Animal Control. She was unwanted and abandoned as a puppy. 

She is very much a "unicorn" for a Malinois, she is very mellow and calm. She LOVES kids and her Chuckit balls! 

 

We absolutely love the breed, but we typically do not use them as they can be too intense.  She now proudly works as a Service Dog for my US Marine Husband! Although she is still a puppy, we are exploring her ability in gas leak detection in the oil and gas field. 

We are a small local based veteran and woman owned organization and will remain that way.  We feel staying small, providing you one on one training and group training is more productive. You get specialized training and with the group you will find the camaraderie and support you need. We do more than just train service dogs. We have created a second family for you, and for some the only family.  A network of support, lifetime training, friendship and a bond that will never be broken. You can call us in the middle of the night if you need us, or your brothers or sisters. We are there!  

Our mission is providing service dogs to combat military veterans suffering from PTSD and/or TBI and MST.  Our hope is to ease the debilitating discomfort of PTSD and/or TBI or MST (Military Sexual Trauma) 

of military combat veterans when partnered with their service dogs. 

We are a 501c3 non profit organization dedicated to training service dogs with disabled combat Veterans suffering from

PTSD, and veterans healing from MST (Military Sexual Trauma).

We pull 99% of our dogs from city kill shelters that pass our lengthy and vigorous evaluation.

Once a veteran is accepted into our program, we start searching for their service dog.  We start training the service dog in

training and the veteran together. We feel this forms an extremely tighter bond.

The service dogs are trained by our Director of Training and our Senior Training Assistant, according to the veterans

specialized needs and disabilities.  Once trained these amazing service dogs, battle buddies accompany their veteran

everywhere they go.  Assisting them in their daily lives, giving back their freedom as they have done so for us.

We have created a second family, a safe place and lifelong friends!
