Assistance Dogs of the West (ADW) builds successful working partnerships between clients and dogs that empower people and open doors to new opportunities. In order to create such bonds, it takes 1,500 hours of dedicated training for each puppy:
  • It costs more than $25,000 to breed, feed, care for, train and place each of our dogs:
  • $1,000 buys veterinary, health and wellness care for a puppy for its entire training period.
  • $500 pays for spaying or neutering and x-rays.
  • $250 buys educational and training supplies including crates, clickers, etc. 
  • $100 feeds one dog for a month during training.
  • $50 buys a service dog vest and a leash.
  • EVERY DONATION HELPS!
