Mission Statement

The TADSAW INC mission is to provide for the training of a Medical Alert Service Dog Team, as designated by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990/2010 guidelines, for any wounded Veteran Service Member (Active Duty. Retired, Discharged) surviving with Military Induced Anxiety Depression Syndrome (MIADS), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Military Sexual Trauma (MST) and/or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), in order to restore and improve the Veteran’s Quality of Life with a canine ‘Battle Buddy’, at NO CHARGE to the Veteran or the family. And now with child and adolescent suicide becoming an epidemic across the Nation, TADSAW has reintroduced the "Train a Dog - Save a Child/Civilian/Community member" (TADSAC ) program. TADSAW is unique in that it is a Participant Trained Service Dog (PTSD) program - meaning you, the Veteran, are totally involved in the training of your Medical Alert Service Dog and getting your Military Induced Anxiety Depression Syndrome (MIADS) - an Occupation-Related Health Hazard - under control and destigmatizing the medical condition labeled by the Departments of Defense and VA as a mental health/mental illness issue referred to as post traumatic stress disorder (ptsd!!). Fighting Fire with Fire!!! TADSAW/TADSAC is unique in that it is a Participant Trained Service Dog (PTSD) program - meaning you, the client, is totally involved in the training of your Medical Alert Service Dog and getting your specific medical condition, such as Diabetes, Seizures or a Behavioral Acquired Anxiety Depression Syndrome (BAADS) or Autism or whatever - under control and destigmatizing the medical condition as a mental health/mental illness issue.

About This Cause

TADSAW’s Participant Trained Service Dog (PTSD) program pertains to the training for all the mission statements for the different populations and re-introduced the “Train a Dog – Save a Civilian” (TADSAC) program to include Children and Community Members” (TADSAC) AND the ‘Train a Dog – Save a Family member’(TADSAF) AND the ‘Train a Dog – Save a First Responder’ (TADSAR) programs.. So here is where TADSAW INC changes the course and the culture and seeks to DESTIGMATIZE the existing labels of Medical Conditions and Disabilities!!! TADSAW/TADSAC/TADSAF/TADSAR are most unique in that it is a Participant Trained Service Dog (PTSD) program – meaning the Client, is totally involved in the training of their Medical Alert Service Dog for their diagnosed medical condition, where a Service Dog would be an appropriate addition and beneficial to restore and improve to their Quality of Life and destigmatize the present classification now described as a mental health/mental illness or other medical condition. From July 2010 to July 15th 2025, TADSAW has accredited 1,626 Medical Alert Service Dog Teams (Male:1,102// Female:524) throughout the United States area communities, including 177 (**11%**) Vietnam Veteran (M:165//F:12) and TWO Korean War Veteran and 81 TADSAF (‘Train a Dog - Save a Family' Member program) and 19 TADSAR (“Train a Dog – Save a First Responder”) and 71 TADSAC (‘Train a Dog – Save a Child//Civilian/Community’ member’) Teams!!
