"Helping people with physical disabilities become more independent through the use of service dogs and the sharing of God's promises."

In June of 2008, Promising Partner's dog, Jax, started his full time training.  He has proven to be a very positive and driven dog when it comes to service work.  Our best guess at his personal theme is that "life is a party."  Jax seems to be able to turn any situation, bad or good, into a party and enjoy himself!  His training has gone pretty easily and in October I began to interview service dog applicants to see who would be a potential fit for the role of his partner.  I didn't have to look long before we found her. 

Addie Goodman and I met in October along with her mother and sister and, of course, Jax.  During our meeting it was clear to me that Jax's skills and Addie's needs met each other right on.  Not to mention the fact that Jax very obviously had an immediate fondness for Addie.

Addie lives in Scott City, KS with her parents, who are her caretakers and runs her own web-design business.  We plan to start their team training at the end of February!  This is an exciting time for Promising Partners with the placement of our first dog, but even more so for Addie who will be able to benefit from the generosity of all of those who have made this placement possible!
