Mission Statement
Steadfast Service Dogs provides service dogs to those who have a diagnosed need for a service dog, but cannot afford the entire cost of dog, training, certifications and maintenance training.
About This Cause
Our Service Dog program is designed to provide purpose-bred, quality service dogs that are tested and selected specifically for each handler. Puppies are whelped in our family room, and we do not warehouse our puppies in kennels. From day one, our puppies have constant contact with humans, are socialized and neurologically stimulated continuously throughout the day, and are carefully monitored. At 8-weeks, we have a Canine Master Trainer who has never had contact with the puppies come out to do service dog aptitude testing. We will only place puppies as service dogs if they test out with service dog aptitudes. Our process includes an 8-week period through which puppy and handler forge a bond that will provide a foundation for the training to follow. Our program takes approximately 12 to 18 months to complete, with at least four "board-and-train" or travel training modules, each including a 2-3 day "train the handler" session and appropriate certifications. Steadfast Service Dogs has a proven track record of successful service dog placements for various disabilities, including PTSD, heavy mobility, diabetic alert, seizure alert, autism, other psychiatric and neurological disabilities, and for survivors of extreme violence and trauma. We have dogs places with survivors of sex trafficking and survivors of the Parkland Shooting. We have dogs performing dual roles as service dog for a handler and peer support or emotional support for a group the handler works with. Our dogs are life altering!
