Help With Service Dogs!

Post Reply New Topic

Hey everyone!
I know it has been a really long time, and I know I don't get on here often (if we had a notification system I would know to check up on things!) but I had some questions regarding service dogs. Maybe some of you all can help me?

I'm looking to get a service dog again, after a long intermission that regarded my obsessing, apparently. What can I say? Service dogs are one of my special interests I just need everyone's help in finding the right organization!

I live in Virginia, so it needs to be in the US, of course, the closer to me the better. And if they're not in my state they have to either accept services nationally OR be within their set radius, for example, one had "within a 250-mile radius of Ohio" which was obviously not going to happen because I am about 500 miles away, double their requirement.
And obviously it needs to be an Autism dog...I am fifteen; I am not looking for tethering of course! And no one that requires parents to be with you & the dog at all times. I have already tried the Service Dogs of Virginia, they are not placing with me because I am "too old"!

So really, any help would be appreciated, thank you so much guys!

Found these on google. Cannot vouch personally for them. You and your family will need to check them out yourselves.
