Overview

Mission

The foundation for service dog support, inc (fsds) is an Arizona based 501(c)(3) non-profit thatprovides support, services, resources and education for individuals with disabilities for whom a service dog can improve their quality of life. We provide training for service dogs, training for service dog teams, support and encouragement to those who need service dogs, and education to the general public to increase awareness about the role of service dogs in public spaces. The fsds also provides grants for service dogs to injured and/or disabled first responders, public safety officers, disabled veterans, public school teachers, clergy and others who have provided outstanding service to our community that are injured and/or have a disability and are in need of a service dog to increase their activities for daily living.

What it reported doing in 2024

Service and facility dog training - we provide dogs to meet the needs of wounded military and first responders requiring assistance with daily activities due to post traumatic stress disorder, as well as economically disadvantaged individuals who are unable to afford the cost of a service dog posted by other programs. Training of these teams on graduation leads to service dog certification by the fsds. Work with police and fire departments annually for a trained certified service dog for their use at no cost to them. Additional training and education is provided to the general public and community regarding service dog issues and the law. Fsds is the only facility dog certification program in Arizona.
