Request a Service Dog
 
 

If you’re interested in the possibility of being partnered with one of our remarkable Service Dog, please contact us for an information packet.


Upon reading the information packet, if you decide that you would like to apply , here’s what to expect.
A completed application includes the following:

  1. A $25 application fee.
  2. The completed Program Application form.
  3. The Medical History form completed by your physician or primary care specialist.
  4. A personal letter of reference from a friend, teacher, or someone other than a family member.
  5. A professional letter of reference from a therapist, social worker, teacher, or any other professional with whom you have contact.
  6. A one-page letter stating your reasons for wanting a service dog and how you feel the dog would benefit you.

Staff, upon receipt of the above, will review your completed application. Those applicants we feel qualify for our program based on the application process will be contacted to schedule an interview. A preliminary interview form will be sent at that time to be completed and returned to us prior to your interview.
If you are selected for placement, there is a $2200 fee for the dog as well as a $550 fee for the two-week training course, which is held at our Santa Rosa training center.
