Program active; NEW ASSISTANCE-DOG INQUIRIES CURRENTLY PAUSED
Colorado nonprofit training assistance dogs for qualifying veterans and first responders with PTSD or TBI, and for people with certain physical disabilities. Dogs are provided at no charge, but clients pay travel to Englewood, ongoing dog care and other personal expenses. The official FAQ states the organization is NOT currently accepting new assistance-dog inquiries; do not present this as an open application. The FAQ estimates about 2.5 years from waitlist acceptance to placement, which can vary. Check the official website for future reopening
