Service Dog Laws
Federal and ADA Laws and links to forms and an application for acquiring a service dog.
adopting a dog
Find a great dog to train. A dog from a breeder with professional, immersive training is not in everyone’s budget and may not be in everyone’s timeline. Pawssible offers resources for people who would rather go the untraditional route. These local organizations can help with temperament testing of adoptable dogs, and some even offer or can point you in the right direction of a Canine Good Citizen Class.
