Hello all!
I just wanted to put some info out there in hopes that someone who needs it will see it. A service dog group called Canine Support Teams (located in Southern California) is currently accepting applications from disabled people who need a service dog. Many groups have an eternally long waiting list and charge astronomical amounts for a service dog. That is not the case with this group. I have heard people say they lost hope in finding a place to get a service dog - until they found out about Canine Support Teams.
They train service dogs for all types of disabilities except for visual impairment and autism. Some examples of what they do train for is wheel chair assist, balance/mobility assist, medical alert, PTSD, and much more. These dogs can open doors, turn on and off the lights, pick up dropped items, help you get dressed and undressed, open and shut cupboards, refrigerators, etc., and help you make transactions at the bank or store. The list could go on.
Service dogs are absolutely life changing for their handler. They open so many doors for their disabled handler - figuratively and literally. If you know of ANYONE who may need a service dog, please pass on the info! It is very hard to find a good group to get a service dog from, and Canine Support Teams is definitely a great group! They are a very small organization, so are very passionate about what they do. The founder, who is in a wheel chair herself, is very much involved and is said to be the heart of the group.
Please check them out! Please post if you have any questions about them, I puppy raise for them so might be able to answer your question.
