Service Dogs Alabama

This organization is a state wide nonprofit. They are the only Service Dog Organization in the state of Alabama approved by the Alabama Department of education to be in public schools throughout the state.

They provide excellent training for PTSD, Diabetic alert, Autism and mobility issues. The staff is top notch!

Great organization!

Currently our family has "Nikki" which has been great for us! Initially she was placed with our, then 11 y/o son, for autism intervention. Ashley remained in contact with us for updates on his and Nikki's bonding process. Unfortunately, the lack of a bond meant Nikki was not the correct match. The organization took Nikki back to give additional training based on our conversations, and recommendations.

Next, Nikki returned to our family because she had built a decent bond with our daughter during her initial placement. Nikki is doing very well with our 14 y/o daughter, and has helped her in many ways. Her training has been helpful with nightmares, anxiety in the transition to high school, and interaction in general.

Throughout the process, Service Dogs of Alabama responded to our concerns, provided training suggestions, conducted follow-up training, and is working to find a match for our son.

After a few years of searching, Service Dogs of Alabama was not only the best costing organization, but provided a well trained service dog, assistance when we had issues with public places that hassled us about the service dog being in the facilities.

I cannot thank Ashley and Francis enough for what they have done for our family!

Sincerely,

David B.

Ashley and Francis are true professionals that dramatically changed the quality of life for my son, they will do everything they can to help you. We thought we would never be able to raise the money, but with some effort, and prayers we made it happen! The service dog has been a true blessing, and he is so well trained that all we receive is compliments when the dog is out in public. I would HIGHLY recommend Service Dogs Alabama to everyone! They are doing such amazing work and are two of the nicest, most dedicated people you will ever meet!

This organization is Great! Nothing but the willingness to help place dogs in good homes with people who are deserving. I am a Veteran and have had the pleasure of getting to know Ashley through helping with fostering dogs in transition to their forever homes. Just because someone is deserving of a service animal doesn't mean that they are fit to take care of it so if a dog was taken it was done out of love and compassion for the animals and their well being. These dogs are not sold to anyone nor are they for sale. Service Dogs Alabama simply asks for you to help raise money for training and placement of the future service dogs. Without this organization and the work and time that Ashley puts in, there would be a bunch of people who didn't have the ability or confidence to get out and enjoy life again. I personally want to thank you guys for your selfless service and for everything you do

My daughter has had her service dog for almost a year now. We cannot imagine our lives without her in it! She is the most intelligent, well trained dog. This is an amazing group of people who truly have a passion for what they do. Still to this day, if I have a question the response is always fast. Ashley made sure my daughter was comfortable and confident in working with her dog. You will not be disappointed with SDA! They have been a blessing to my family!!
