Life-Changing Partnerships in Their Own Words
Since 2000, over 125 life-changing partnerships have been created through Service Dogs of Virginia — powerful partnerships between people and their incredible service dogs. But don’t just take our word for it. Hear directly from our teams as they share how these dogs have opened doors, built confidence, and brought greater freedom, safety, and joy to their lives.
Our teams are grouped by program, so you can easily explore the stories that matter most to you — whether it’s Physical Assistance Dogs, Autism Service Dogs, PTSD Service Dogs, Medical Alert Service Dogs or Facility Dogs.
