Anchor Assistance Dogs places service dogs with people and children with disabilities and facility dogs to serve many people as therapy animals. With $5,000, we could invest in another great dog to train for one of the many people and organizations waiting for a trained dog. It is costly for our organization to obtain and train dogs to work as service animals. It would be very helpful to our small organization. Every dollar counts.
HOW TO HELP NOW: Donate to our organization to allow us to fulfill our mission and place dogs with people in need. Spread the word about our services and need for donations and volunteer puppy raisers through your social media.
