Fundraising Information

A fully trained service dog is estimated to cost $60,000-$75,000. We rely heavily on charitable donations from the public to help make our dogs accessible. At this time, we ask all accepted applicants to fundraise $25,000 dollars to help offset the cost of the selection, raising, training, and two week in home transfer camp we provide.
