First we would like to thank you for your service.
This Page is dedicated to you and your effort in getting a service dog.
Before applying for one of our dogs, take the time and go through this page from top to bottom. We are one of many organizations out there that will provide a service dog to a veteran. This page will let you know the qualifactions for us. It will let you know what we require. Lastly it will give you information that you will need to know before taking on a service dog. Most importantly, it will inform you if our organization is the best fit for you.
Where do we train
We do most of our training in Pierce County and in South King County. We ask that if you apply for our program that you live near this area of training or be willing to travel to this area for training.
We do our hands on training in locations that are in public facilities (restaurants, malls or stores). We try to pick time frames that are less crowded. With that being said we are in public areas and we can not control that aspect of training.

Prerequisites for eligibility
There are many organizations that will help you with getting a service dog. We are a smaller organization that wants to work with Veterans on a more intimant training program. For those reason we have our own requirements to quallify for our program. Before completing our application, plese read our requirements:
- Must be a Veteran that has served in any branch (Active Duty, Reserves or National Guard)
- Must have a letter of diagnosis of PTSD or TBI or other neurological issues with required documentation that it is a service-related issue(s).
- Must have been honorably discharged from the United States Armed Forces.
**** If you are currently serving in the military, please keep in mind that our program is based on a person to person training environment and it takes a large amount of time to train.
