Service Dogs assist people with a disability (other than blindness). These special animals are trained to do many things, including picking up dropped objects, pulling wheelchairs, predicting seizures, and helping with stability for walking.

This list includes contact information for many of the training organizations available worldwide, however, some may no longer exist. Therefore, this listing is for informational purposes only.

This is a list for information purposes only. It is up to each person to check the credentials of the organization and to find a program that is compatible to their needs.

That amazes me - did you see the spot on the news about the nursing home cat that could "predict death". Really interesting.. and it makes you really think about how smart and loving these creatures are!

Yes I saw that!! They also had a cat on Medical Mysteries who could do the same thing. The cat lived in a nursing home and would always spend the day/night with the person who was about to pass on. Kitty would stay there until the person was gone and then move on.
