The websites listed here provide animals, advice on training, and general information on service, rescue and therapy dogs. We are alone, absolutely alone on this chance planet: and, amid all the forms of life that surround us, not one, excepting the dog, has made an alliance with us. ~ Maurice Maeterlinckhttp://www.petsiteguides.com/dogs_and_puppies/service_rescue_and_therapy_dogs/http://www.petsiteguides.com/dogs_and_puppies/service_rescue_and_therapy_dogs/freedom-service-dogs-l241.htmlFreedom Service Dogs rescues dogs from animal shelters, trains them to assist people with disabilities and places them where they are needed most. Through their Operation Freedom program, dogs in training who are hoped to be partnered with a wounded service member are paired with returning and retired military members. Volunteers and donations are sought. Dogs not deemed able to meet the strict guidelines of becoming a service dog are offered for adoption and should make great household pets but may be too timid, easily distracted or unable to resist chasing squirrels.http://www.petsiteguides.com/dogs_and_puppies/service_rescue_and_therapy_dogs/dana-s-service-dog-page-l242.htmlDana's site shares a great deal of information about service dogs from the perspective of someone who has been helped by a number of these wonderful animals. She shares the training process, commands and a unique first-person account of the getting to know you phase of a service dog being paired with someone needing assistance.http://www.petsiteguides.com/dogs_and_puppies/service_rescue_and_therapy_dogs/the-puppy-place-l243.htmlSix volunteer puppy raisers work together to maintain this informative website about raising seeing eye dogs.
