IRS990ScheduleI/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The cost of each dog is pre-negotiated at fixed amounts through each training program through which we sponsor dog training. Donation amounts correspond with whole, multiples of this fixed cost and checks are accompanied with a standard letter stipulating that the money be used to train a dog or dogs for recipients that fall within our mission. We typically obtain status reports once a match has been determined and as training progresses. When the placement is made and training is complete, we receive notification along with pictures and biographies of the dog and the new master.
