We have three Assistance Dog programs: Hearing Assistance Dogs placed nationally, Facility Assistance Dogs placed nationally, and Autism Assistance Dogs placed in Oregon, Washington, and California. Donations assist the organization in numerous ways, including: rescuing dogs all across the western United States, veterinarian expenses, professional training, placement with clients, and follow-ups during the lifetime of the dog. There is no charge to the client for one of our dogs.
