Opening Doors To Independence

Support Dogs, Inc., not-for-profit organization, was founded to place assistance dogs with individuals with mobility-related needs. Through the years, the scope of Support Dogs’ services has evolved to include placing service dogs with children who are mentally and/or physically disabled, Hearing Dogs for people who are Deaf or hard of hearing, and pairing Psychiatric Service dogs with individuals who suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Support Dogs continues its proud tradition of placing all of our assistance dogs at no cost to our clients.

Additionally, Support Dogs has a pet visitation program called TOUCH (Therapy of Unique Canine Helpers), in which volunteers and their own dogs are certified to visit various healthcare facilities in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area. In addition to TOUCH, volunteers and their dogs may participate in the Paws For Reading program, where a dog and its handler visit local elementary schools and libraries, using the dog as an incentive for the children to improve their literacy skills.

Heavily involved in the local community, Support Dogs offers public obedience classes for pet owners and their dogs, as well as a public education component, speaking to local groups and organizations about Support Dogs.

As a 501(c)(3) organization, Support Dogs depends on the generosity of corporate donations, fundraisers, grants, as well as the United Way of Greater St. Louis for its funding. Although Support Dogs does receive funding from these sources, the majority of the funding for our programs and services comes from individual donors. More than 75% of our annual budget comes from public and private donations, which allows Support Dogs to provide our services at no cost to our clients.
