Good information. People need to respect that not every dog should be in public as a service animal. It makes it more difficult for the real service animals helping their people.

Great info here. I’m seeing some bad fakers out there.

Just to name a few STARS, Battle Mountain, and every local town of the black hills has a humane society. There are also groups that help train dogs as assistance dogs. List some of the places you like to donate to help our beloved doggies.

Donate locally where your money actually helps animals!!
