Handler’s Application Process
A mobility dog is a well-trained and working service dog that assists individuals with permanent mobility disabilities and challenges. At MobilityDog, we raise loving, confident dogs with unique personalities to enhance the quality of life for the mobility-disabled community through functional independence, giving them confidence and a voice in the broader community. We work with people over 16+ years of age. There is an application process that includes a Meet & Greet, Meet a SD, and an Overview with SD Committee to be matched with a service dog. Handlers become part of the MobilityDog Community with meetups the first Saturday of each month for training, fieldtrips, and more.
