Service Dogs for Veterans
PTSD Service Dogs are trained and matched with post 9/11 veterans who have been diagnosed with PTSD and/or TBI as a result of their military service.

We primarily train retrievers to assist veterans coping with PTSD in various public settings as well those who experience balance issues and/or anxiety. Our dogs are placed with qualifying veterans living in Central and Southern California, Western Nevada and Western Arizona free of training costs.

Hearing Dog Program
Hearing Dogs are specially trained to alert people who are deaf or hard of hearing to common household sounds such as door knocks, telephones, and smoke alarms. We carefully match our Hearing Dogs with qualifying applicants living in Central and Southern California, Western Nevada and Western Arizona free of training costs.

Home Hearing Dogs are ideal for kids or adults with a severe to profound hearing loss. Certified Hearing Dogs also have training to be helpful outside the home such as in a workplace.
