Will you join us in helping Ellie, and hundreds more, partner and thrive with a highly trained canine by their side? Over the last 2 years, Ellie and her mother, Katie, have been traveling from Texas to Santa Fe to work with #ADW trainers and staff. Together, they identify Ellie’s unique strengths and work to enhance those qualities in her. As Ellie works with our professionally-trained, skilled #servicedogs, I witness in Ellie greater self-confidence, freedom and determination. Your donation will empower individuals with a range of challenges, along with our brilliant facility dogs who work in juvenile justice, in #crisisresponse for the FBI, with #resourceofficers at elementary schools, as well as providing peer support to #firstresponders along with doctors and nurses. Thanks to our generous Board of Trustees, every donation will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $50,000!

STUDENTS & DOGS GROWING TOGETHER! Register your child today for our Winter/Spring afterschool program; classes begin in January and go through May. This class is open to kids ages 8-18. Wednesdays at 4:15 - 5:30 pm, 1590 San Mateo Ln (at #ADW). Each treat a student gives a dog during class builds the child's confidence, develops partnership, and nurtures empathy. And, each treat a dog receives brings them one paw closer to mastering one of 90 cues, meeting their person, and changing a life! MORE THAN 3,500 STUDENT TRAINERS HAVE PARTICIPATED! REGISTER your child at: assistancedogsofthewest.org/student-training #assistancedogs #childrenprograms #afterschoolprogram #santafeafterschool #afterschoolprogramsantafe #dogtrainingprogram #kidsanddogs #assistancedogintraining #puppylove #childrensclasses #kidsclasses

Can you help make MAGIC happen? It costs $50,000 to raise Chester from fluffy puppy to steadfast service dog companion. Along the way, he will receive 1,500 hours of dedicated training from staff and volunteers, countless snuggles and treats, and endless praise to ready himself for a life of service. Then, clients meet with dogs that most want to do the work they need, and we patiently wait for that magic moment. A dog’s behavior will let you know when they have met their chosen human... A successful match creates a strong working foundation for a lifetime together. PLEASE DONATE. Your gift will be matched (up to $50K) by our generous Board of Trustees! #assistancedogsofthewest #assistancedogs #adw #servicedogs #donateforservicedogs #servicedogsfundraiser
