Service Dog Agency

[chinavet]

The more I have thought about service dogs, the more I am sure I want one regardless of the VA decision. I think it would change my life.

I cannot be in places with lots of people, cannot walk over pedestrian overpasses, have to leave movies to get re-grounded and get through a panic attack and so on...

Any suggestions for a good agency?

- I have a service dog- this is mine - her name is Beans - she is a Pitbull mix.... they are wonderful animals for anxiety and PTSD getting out and about. Mine has helped me 10 fold in that area. I received mine from a loca sevice dogl agency that trains an licenses them in our area...FREE for vets with proven PTSD, anxiety, or depression cases. Where are you located?
