FAQ about Service Dogs
What is the difference between a Handi-Dog, Service Dog, and Assistance Dog?
Service Dogs and Assistance Dogs are the same -- dogs that have been individually trained to do tasks that help a person with a disability. Handi-Dogs is the copyrighted name of our particular organization, where we help people train Service Dogs.
Can I get a dog from you?
Handi-Dogs does not provide or place dogs.
Can I donate my dog to you?
No, we cannot accept dogs, and we have no facilities for housing dogs.
How do I get my dog certified so I can take it everywhere I go?
- Only an individual with a disability can have a service dog.
- A disability is a physical or mental condition that limits a major life activity.
- The dog must be trained to perform work or tasks specifically related to that person's disability. Just because you have a disability, it does not mean your pet is a service dog. Click here for more information.
