At Sunrise Service Dogs, we transform lives by pairing people with disabilities with expertly trained service dogs at no cost. We specialize in training carefully selected dogs for mobility assistance, psychiatric support, and medical alert tasks, giving back confidence and independence to incredible members of our community.
Our service dogs transform the lives of individuals with disabilities and their loved ones, which in turn benefits the wider community. By fostering independence, boosting mental health and providing emergency assistance, our service dogs help create more inclusive, compassionate, and resilient communities.
We aim to start 15 specially selected dogs and their human partners on their service journey over the next year. That means giving hope and a chance at added independence to 15 families—support that Sunrise Service Dogs cannot achieve without your contributions.
It takes over $30,000, 18 months and hundreds of dedicated hours to raise a special canine companion from puppyhood to professional service.
“Thanks to my service dog's consistent task performance and mature behavior, I now enjoy the confidence to be independent at home for hours—no longer needing constant supervision. Our strengthening bond is my gateway to autonomy.” — Service dog graduate, April 2024
