Saint Francis Service Dogs operates two key services, which support our mission of helping children and adults with disabilities to become more independent and self-sufficient through partnership with a professionally trained service dog.

Service Dogs – Placing professionally trained service dogs with qualified partners is our primary goal. Service dogs are capable of performing many useful tasks, including going for help, picking items up, opening and closing doors, retrieving the phone, and turning lights on and off. More information about Service Dogs.

Facility Dogs – We also place expertly trained dogs with partners working in a healthcare, courtroom, or education setting. Facility dogs are trained to do many tasks to assist with therapy, provide motivation, and give comfort. More information about Facility Dogs.
