Narrative
Donates Great Danes as service dogs to those with severe balance and mobility limitations. We provide applicant-specific training once selected.
Our working service dogs have been placed with veterans and people with Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, Cerebral Palsy, Friedreich’s Ataxia, and other disabilities.
As balance dogs, they are taught to be steady in harness. They can match their gait to the handler’s speed. The dogs also learn to halt and brace if the handler should fall and needs help to stand.
