“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”
-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Today and every day, we take these words to heart by fulfilling our mission of service to veterans, first responders, and other adults living with disabilities to whom we provide custom-trained assistance dogs.

Did you know that January is National Train Your Dog Month?🐕‍🦺 FSD dogs go through rigorous training from birth to graduation. Beginning with early socialization in the nursery, FSD puppies then receive basic obedience skills from an inmate handler in the prison program before advancing their skills and house manners with a loving volunteer puppy raiser. Finally, they get individual custom training from our skilled FSD trainers before being placed with someone in need. This month, and every month, we appreciate the wonderful folks who help our pups reach their potential through positive reinforcement training methods and lots and lots of love❤

Pictured are our talented trainers and Client Services team with our December, 2024, graduates!🐾

Today is National Labrador Retriever Day🌟 Like many assistance dogs schools around the world, FSD primarily uses Labs (as well as Golden retrievers and Lab/Golden crosses) in our programs thanks to their biddable and sweet temperaments, trainability, size, and the wealth of genetic information we have on the breed. To learn more about why we primarily utilize Labs to transform the lives of people living with disabilities, read our WAG blog!🐾

While many breeds are excellent candidates for assistance dog work, Labrador retrievers are the most widely utilized breed around the world… and for good reason! Learn more about why FSD primarily utilizes Labs (as well as golden retrievers and Lab/golden crosses) in our program.
