Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 , this is a way to get a service dog, but people should also try to contact Customs and Border Patrol or even the K-9 units, and ask if they have any dogs that can't work anymore (not because of sickness) or dogs that did not met the requirements or did not pass the test. They are always looking for families or individuals that want to adopt an already trained dog.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hi Carolina,That is great info, thanks, I will forward on.Personally, I think that while a service dog would be wonderful, even a non-service dog can be very beneficial for our kids. And much less expensive!Regards,To: sList Sent: Tue, March 15, 2011 12:33:24 PMSubject: Re: Broward: Fundraiser to purchase a service dog , this is a way to get a service dog, but people should also try to contact Customs and Border Patrol or even the K-9 units, and ask if they have any dogs that can't work anymore (not because of sickness) or dogs that did not met the requirements or did not pass the test.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I also suggest prison dog programs and working with a personal trainer. Also there is Sunshine State Service Dogs in your area. http://www.facebook.com/sunshinedogsNo family in my opinion should have to pay that kind of money for a service dog. , this is a way to get a service dog, but people should also try to contact Customs and Border Patrol or even the K-9 units, and ask if they have any dogs that can't work anymore (not because of sickness) or dogs that did not met the requirements or did not pass the test.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 This information might be useful. I know most of the dogs are trained to work w/ the deaf or physically disabled, but they might have one trained appropriately to work with a child on the spectrum.
