Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Education and awareness: during the past year, we have reached out to the community to raise public awareness on the purpose and function of service dogs, the benefits they accrue to service dog partners, the needs of disabled u.s. Veterans which can be met with a service dog, and the rights and responsibilities of service dog partners under the americans with disabilities act. We gave presentations and demonstrations at nearly 100 events in the local community, including pet-centered events and fairs, community celebrations of memorial day and veterans day and 9/11 tributes, and at local businesses. We reached out to potential veteran clients through attendance and presentations at the walter reed national military medical center, the joint services open house at andrews air force base, and the paralyzed veterans of america wheelchair games. In total, we reached over 5000 people during the 300+ hours of community outreach work we completed. We held an open house at our new training facility to introduce the community to our mission and purpose. We held orientation sessions for potential volunteers, participated in the montgomery county volunteer center's martin luther king day of service, and trained volunteers to educate the community at our outreach events. We participated in youth education through visits to numerous elementary schools, pre-schools, church groups, scout troops, and 4-h clubs.
