Did you know that September is National Service Dog Month?
National Service Dog Month was created to celebrate dogs who help humans. Here at ECAD, we've trained more then 300 Service Dogs to enable people with disabilities to gain greater independence and mobility. You can find Service Dogs not only assisting individuals, but in skilled nursing facilities, courthouses, physical therapy practices and hospitals. The goal in each setting remains the same - the working dogs help to support and increase independence for the people they are servicing.
We invite you to join our celebration of National Service Dog Month.

This month, we want to introduce you to some of the Clients ECAD Service Dogs have helped regain increased independence.
Every week you will meet a Team that has been made possible by generous supporters like you. And, you will get to learn a little about their journey to becoming a Team.
You will also meet a Service Dog Team that work assisting multiple individuals in a facility setting and a Successor Dog! A Successor Dog is the dog that takes over when the initial Service Dog passes or retires from working. It’s a very special process and you’ll meet a very special Team.
It takes $25,000 - $30,000 to train each ECAD Service Dog. Right now, we have more than 30 people waiting for a Service Dog. Every monthly gift of $5, $20, $50 or more, helps us train more Service Dogs for those who need them to achieve greater independence. During the month of September, the first 30 new monthly donors will recieve a free ECAD t-shirt. Don't wait. Become a monthly donor.
