SIT Service Dogs operates as a privately owned organization, offering community services for a fee instead of relying on fundraising or donations. This unique approach allows us to significantly reduce the cost of service dogs for our clients, who only need to fund less than 50% of their dog's expenses through private fundraising, sponsorships, or payments.
By providing Canine Therapy Programs, educational classes for students, and obedience and therapy dog training, we can offset the fees for breeding, training, and placing service dogs. Every dollar spent on our services helps lower the fundraising burden for families, allowing us to focus on delivering personalized, high-quality service dogs at a reduced cost.
