OSCAR & DYLAN

Meet Dylan Pearl, a sweet and sassy 6-year-old girl living with both Down Syndrome, and Level 2 Autism. 

Every day, she faces challenges with communication, (she is non verbal), safety, anxiety, and navigating the world around her.  Despite these obstacles, she brings joy and love to her family, and so many others.  A specially trained service dog could make a life-changing difference for her.   A service dog for Dylan could provide, safety and support both at home and during outings, comfort during emotional meltdowns or anxiety, improved independence and confidence, and assistance with social interactions and daily routines.

Beckett & Muffin

 Beckett is a courageous, loving, and spirited 6-year-old boy who faces daily challenges related to seizures, developmental delays, and cognitive impairments. Despite these obstacles, he continues to inspire those around him with his strength and determination.  Muffin, his service dog in training, will provide life-changing support for Beckett and his family. Once fully trained, Muffin will be able to detect and alert the family to oncoming seizures, enhance Beckett’s safety, and help foster greater independence and confidence in his daily life.  Service dogs require extensive specialized training and ongoing care, which comes with a significant financial commitment. With the support of our community, we can help provide Beckett with this incredible companion and the safety, comfort, and independence he deserves.

A specially trained service dog will provide him with safety, sensory support, and the independence he deserves. These dogs are highly skilled but come with a significant cost for training and care.
