Service Dogs
Our longstanding relationships with Formaro Labradors, Missouri Puppies for Parole and North Central Correctional Facility give us the resources needed to provide a consistent work product, capable of meeting ever-growing needs. With twelve years of experience raising, training and placing service dogs in the Veteran and children's communities, we've expanded to include increasingly complex disabilities. We provide pre-placement support through children's dog handling classes and post-placement support for all of our recipients through the integration of Dog Scouts and Volkssporting. We welcome your interest!
