    Im a veteran who graduated from the vet dog program. The ENTIRE staff is amazing. I feel like the dog they trained and gave me is the best of the best. They paid for me to fly from CO, placed me in a great facility to live, trained me to be a handler, and fed me for two full weeks. I didnt pay a dime. This place has changed my life and I would do this 100x again if asked. There are some rules here. This is a dry campus. Any vet should have zero issues with this place after all of the institution and structure theyve already been through. One more thing I really appreciated about this place is all of the community and connections I made. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, all of you.

    No problems at all, some advice to all this is to help. Please take it as such. No need for negative feedback. I did not write the rules, requirements, or anything else. Ive had two Service Dogs and these are the steps I took, and achieved the purpose I needed to.Read / Ask Questions / Contact by Phone / Veterans go through your VA. Contact the Service Animal POC at your VA, Below are the steps I took and had no issues.1. Get a letter from your Doctor stating that your quality of life would improve by having a Service Dog. Your (NEED) has to meet requirements to qualify with a Disability according to the ADA.* No there is no official certification, Take your and read theAmerican Disabilities Act (ADA).2. Find the POC, If you want insurance through the VA they will have a list of Training Centers they approve. I signed a document opting out of the insurance.* Even if you turn down the insurance they can still provide you with the list of training sites they use.3. Go through a basic handling course. Pretty much any chain pet stores provide this training. Must training sites Ive seen a basic handling and obedience evaluation will be given. I have seen animals denied for not having the basics.Ask questions, think how many different tasks are out there to assist people to improve their daily activities.* Take your and read the American Disabilities Act (ADA).Do your research / Read everything for yourself / Ask questions even if you think you know. (You know nothing) / Get contact numbers, most importantly names of contacts. Veterans go through your VA.

    These people have treated me like family since 2008. Great people doing a great service. I was injured in 2004 in Iraq, and theyve been fantastic since I came in contact with them. Im on my second dog, now, and the program just gets better and better.

    If theres anyplace in America that benefits from public support this as important as it can ever be. Please donate for a beyond good cause.

    Thank God for these people. If not for them I would have no chance at a somewhat normal life with my injuries from combat.
