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

What is a Service Dog?

 At Promising Partners, service dogs are highly trained, highly skilled dogs that are placed with people who have have lost the use of their arms or legs.  They can also be used to help people who have trouble balancing while they are walking.

Service dogs perform tasks such as retrieving dropped objects, opening and closing doors, turning lights on and off, helping with balance, moving objects out of the way, pulling wheelchairs, and much much more.  Above and beyond what the dogs are trained to do, they help to knock down some of the social barriers that come with having a disability.  

The term "service dog" is often mistaken as the more widely known seeing-eye dogs, or guide dogs.  The fact is they both fall under the category of "Assistance Dogs."  There are three types of assistance dogs: Seeing-eye dogs, service dogs and hearing dogs. 

If you would like to learn more about each individual category of assistance dog you can visit the Assistance Dogs International website.
