Discover the UDS Service Dogs Program
Service dogs are dedicated companions that provide more than puppy love–they can help with anxiety and panic attacks, navigation, guidance, retrieval of items, medical emergencies, emotional support, and much, much more.
Our service dogs are trained from puppyhood to the age of at least two years old by a team of dedicated volunteers and professionals. Then, they’re partnered with individuals who have a mobility disability, autism, or Veterans with a variety of disabilities to help them live their possibility. Additionally, we train dogs to work in schools, to help children who struggle to learn in the classroom.
Service Dogs for Mobility Disabilities and Autism
If you’re an individual with autism or have a mobility disability, a UDS service dog can help improve your quality of life.
Pups in the Classroom
We offer service dogs that are specially trained to help children who struggle in the classroom.
