PUPPY SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
SPONSOR A PUPPY
Be there for every moment … and every milestone throughout the two-year training of your sponsored assistance dog that will change the life of someone with a disability.
We Need Your Support! We spend up to $70,000 on each
placed dog. This includes training, vet costs, food, equipment kits, and all
other expenses. Every dollar we receive helps us fund these expenses, and allows us to train more dogs and create a bigger impact. Invest in a sponsorship that increases daily independence for a person with a
disability or a school facility dog that will benefit generations of local youth.
There's a lot of ways that Rider helps her… he helps her when she's overwhelmed. She has a really hard time with transitions and her anxiety becomes bigger than her. He helps her with her social interactions because he's a natural bridge to other kids and other people, and that's a big thing! Her confidence to move about in the world and feel that she can do just about anything. – Johanna Crawford Rider was sponsored by the Auxiliary to The Ability Center and named after astronaut, Sally Ride
