$25/week to feed one dog. This includes chew toys, training treats and other special treats. We try to feed the best food out there and supplement with real meat and vegetables.
$500-$1,000 for initial veterinary care covering shots and spay/neuter.
$500-$800/year/dog for maintenance veterinary care. This includes exams, bloodwork, vaccines, parasite preventatives, and other routine procedures.
$3000-$5000+ for emergency or specialty veterinary care. Accidents do happen and we like to be prepared, so each dog gets a savings account for this contingency. If not used it helps pay for the final adoption.
$700-$1000 for customized service vest and accessories to fit specific needs of the service dog recipient. Occassionally this is more if specialized mobility harnesses are needed.
$14000-$17000 for rehabilitation and/or training. This process may take 12 months to 2 years depending on the dog's initial behavioral status and job they are being trained for. This includes outings to the airport, mall, restaurants, groomers, bookstore, and other homes that welcome us.
Every penny helps !
Puppy Sponsor – $200 a month
crate, bed, mat, bowls, leash and collar(s)
toys and chews.
grooming supplies.
puppy and service dog vests. and tags
specialized training equipment.
microchipping, licensing, and registration.
15 months of veterinary care: well-puppy visits, routine vaccinations, sick/emergency visits.
All puppies that have sponsors (and they can have more then one each) will be those puppies that can be adopted by low or fixed income recipients with a minimal payment based on their income.
Many times, the sponsor will want to adopt the puppy at the end of training if the puppy doesn't make it through the entire program for whatever reason. Not all dogs make it as service dogs.
Sponsors have first choice of adoption. You would be receiving a very well trained dog who just couldn't make it in public. 99% of the dogs can learn the tasks, it's the public access that is tough.
