LifeLine Service Dogs
LifeLine is about impact, and that sums up everything we do.
Training is a real opportunity to connect with the canine and the handler, without both it's just education with no application. It's just a checkmark and is rarely anything more.
I have said that to understand PTS , you to some degree, have navigated the darkness of it.
If you train for trauma , you truly need to understand it and the importance of the journey.
I don't think I'll ever have the words to express what an honor it is to train for the men and women who have served this country. Men and Women who said "I'll go" and stood in the gap for us.
To everyone one of you,
Thank you

Recent studies by Purdue verify the cost involved in training a Service Dog at roughly $50,000.00 for each Service Dog placed. LifeLine SD goals for each year are to train and place 20 task trained service dogs to our qualified applicants, again at no cost to them. Your support enables us to meet with our Veterans, often traveling a few hundred miles to do so, as well as providing for all of the training and cost and care for each service dog in training in addition to building and adding housing enrichment and improvements. We cannot do this without you and your generosity, we truly appreciate you.
