Service Dogs for Children in Need​​

Antonella always believed dogs were more than pets—they were family. Those closest to her witnessed the love, comfort, and companionship dogs brought into her life.​ For families caring for a child with medical or developmental needs, the cost of a trained service dog—often exceeding $50,000—can be overwhelming, especially alongside ongoing medical expenses. This financial burden places life-changing support out of reach for many.

​

Each year, we strive to raise the funds needed to fully provide and/or assist with the cost of a medical service dog, helping support a child and their family.

These four-legged family members make a profound difference for children living with conditions such as traumatic brain injuries, seizure disorders, epilepsy, autism spectrum disorder, mobility challenges, and more. Highly trained and certified, these service dogs are prepared to work in both stressful and everyday environments, providing safety, comfort, and confidence to children who rely on them in their daily lives.
