At Saint Francis Service Dogs, training starts with the simplest of words. At just 8 weeks old, our puppies are introduced to very basic commands. Sit. Down. Wait.  Over the course of the next two years, the list continues to grow. Here. Move. Hold. It is an astounding thing to witness really – how simple words can evolve into something powerful and life-changing. How each word – so ordinary at first – becomes extraordinary in the life of someone with a disability. Those simple words become love in action.

But this kind of love doesn’t just happen. It takes these special dogs and years of careful training. It takes the dedication of our volunteers and trainers. And it takes
the generosity and support of people like you. Give. Help. Let’s Go.

Your gift today turns simple words into life-changing partnerships.
