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

As a non-profit organization
Promising Partners depends on the generosity of
private donors and foundations to cover the expenses
of raising and training the service dogs. Each
service dog is valued at close to $10,000 by the
time they are placed. Our clients pay only a
small placement fee of $250. That is why your
gifts are so important to us! |
How You Can Help
Sponsor a Service Dog - You
or your company can sponsor a service dog throughout it's
training. By doing this you will get to name the puppy and
receive information and updates on it as it goes through our
program. You will also receive a framed picture of the dog
and client once the dog has graduated from the program.
Not to mention you will have the satisfaction of knowing that
through your generosity someone's life has been changed. Cost
$5,000-$10,000.
Help with Training Expenses -
Aside of the cost to care for a dog as it goes
through the program, it costs a lot to actually implement the
training necessary. Each dog requires different equipment,
housing, food, and medical expenses not to mention the expense
of actually training the dogs. If would like to help cover
these expenses donations in any amount are welcome!
Make a General Donation -
As a new organization we are in need of general funds to
purchase necessary supplies and cover operational costs.
Your donation in this area is greatly appreciated!
Hold a Fundraiser -
If you enjoy planning events and would like to hold a
fundraiser to benefit Promising Partners we would love to know
about it and will provide any information and assistance that
you or your group might need.
Our Wish List
Our needs are constantly changing, currently
this is what we are in need of.
Land - As a new
organization we do not yet have a permanent location. Our
ideal location would be a few miles outside of Ellinwood, KS, in
any direction.
Van - We are
also in need of a full-size van, preferably one equipped with an
Under Van Lift or capable of having one installed.
Training Supplies -
Donations of dog food and training treats are always
welcome! We use Nutro Lamb and Rice for food and
for training often use hot dogs and easy cheese in addition to
dog food.
Wheelchairs
- We are in need of both manual and motorized
wheelchairs to use while training the dogs. They do not
need to be shiny and new, just operational to that our dogs can
become accustomed to working around them.
Dogs/Puppies - We
are currently looking for dogs to train. Labradors and
Golden Retrievers are our preference. Puppies must come
from breeder with certification papers for parents. Adult
dogs are preferred to have papers and have passed hip exams.
All dogs must pass a temperament test prior to being accepted
into the program.
