See you ladies soon!

See you guys soon, Rubi

At 4:59am on April 19th, 2008, Sunday Costell said…: Hello Healey, what a wonderful thing you do. I have a couple questions for you if you don't mind. Many of my disabled customers can not afford to get a full on pre-trained service dog. Their SSI or disability insurance won't cover it. On many occasions they need a dog so badly that they go out and just get any dog. Not realizing the real training involved. Is there a program that can help them with the costs of a real "service" dog? Do you have dogs that don't stand up to the standards you offer? If so, can these people get a dog at a discount and then further their training? Like a dog that is not good with distractions outside but can retrieve things for the handicaped in their homes? Or maybe a dog that can remain calm when drug addicted children go into fits? The animals calm them faster than drugs. I have a few friends that train blind dogs and they tell me that if they don't pass everything then they are found homes, usually with the trainers. Just looking to help our most helpless. Thank you.
