Service Dogs assist people with a disability (other than blindness). These special animals are trained to do many things, including picking up dropped objects, pulling wheelchairs, predicting seizures, and helping with stability for walking.

This list includes contact information for many of the training organizations available worldwide, however, some may no longer exist. Therefore, this listing is for informational purposes only.

This is a list for information purposes only. It is up to each person to check the credentials of the organization and to find a program that is compatible to their needs.
