We are passionate about educating children and adults on the care and respect for all animals. To provide refuge to animals that would otherwise be euthanized and to remove those who are in neglectful or abusive situations. Here they will be provided with the best nutrition, housing and love. Having room to roam and play, interact and socialize with other animals, the sanctuary gives a second chance to animals that would have no hope of a decent life, instilling trust in their hearts, so they may feel safe and loved.

National Service Dogs pioneered service dog training for children with autism in 1996. Since then NSD has proven that properly trained and certified autism service dogs can: •increase safety levels and alleviate the bolting behaviours common in children with autism by acting as an anchor when tethered to the child •improve a child’s socialization and behavior skills •expand a child’s capabilities to experience more of life and to grow •calm children thereby giving them an increased attention span and a greater aptitude for learning Each child/dog team represents an 8-10 year commitment from NSD and is valued at $30,000. With the support of donors like you we are able to provide autism service dogs at no charge to children in need. In March of 2011 NSD launched a program to provide Skilled Companion Dogs to veterans with post traumatic stress disorder. Please consider lending your support to this new program today!
