Bruce Brim and SD Jax

I feel more motivated and confident in all facets of life. Jax gives me motivation to stay at work a little longer, work harder and more efficiently. When I get home, I now feel like preparing a healthy meal. I know Jax won’t be judgmental, and will always be ready to help me.

Monica Johnson and SD Avalon

Disability brings about a beautiful transformation that I didn’t think was possible in myself. My journey has led me to a place now in which I can help others with Spinal Cord Injury. It is a blessing to have the security that derives from knowing that Avalon can do tasks that make my life so challenging. She’s my best friend.

Kenny Conley and SD Ruby

The staff at Service Dog, Inc. is amazing! They not only made sure the dogs were comfortable, but they did an amazing job of making sure I was comfortable. They gave so many tips on how to handle situations that could occur, that when they do/did happen, you already had the knowledge and skills to react to them. They definitely care about the Team, not just the dog!

Teresa ‘Terrie” Heemsbergen and SD Ember

Without your kindness and donation, I would have been unable to complete such intense training and to have obtained such a companion. Be assured she will have the best of care and provide me with many years of support. Ember has already increased my joy and determination not to let this disease (Parkinsons) control my life.

Blandina Dominguez and SD Chief

I am glad to say that I am now cancer free. Chief and I completed Treatment February 5, 2015. Upon our last treatment we received a Certificate of Achievement and a Daffodil as a symbol of hope. The cool thing is Chief got one, too; and the certificate had his name on it also.

Amy Fey and SD Neo

They not only help throughout the application process, matching day, and week of training, but they do weekly home trainings and check in with you whenever you need it. Some of the trainers have become some of my very close friends. They don’t just care about their dogs, but about their humans too – they want to make sure both members of the Service Dog team are happy and healthy.
