Your Service Dog Inc 501c3 nonprofit was born out of one woman’s dream that anyone who needed and wished to have a Service Dog to mitigate their disability should be able to obtain a Service Dog regardless of their ability to access funds.
This woman noted that having a Service Dog was as necessary a medical aide as having a wheelchair or a cane, and she set about training Service Dogs and placing them free of charge with the disabled who came to her wishing to obtain a Service Dog.
Placing trained Service Dogs with people meant that she could only reach and help a tiny fraction of the people who were in need of a Service Dog, so she began to teach disabled persons how to train their own Service Dog.
Although teaching people to train their own Service Dogs was able to provide help to more people, there was still a limit to the number of students which our founder, Lelah Sullivan, was able to coach personally herself.
We plan to carry on Lelah Sullivan’s life mission, multiplied many times over (even after she can no longer personally contribute) so that her dream can live on and continue to provide a new lease on life to many who might otherwise be without hope.
This website contains information about our organization, and provides details about the services and resources we offer regarding Service Dogs.
It was very discouraging to see a great need and be limited due to lack of time, money and other resources.
It was suggested that perhaps forming a nonprofit would be the way to go so that with more people helping, more people could be helped – because as they say, “Many hands make light work!”
Of course, forming and maintaining a nonprofit is not easy to do either, but with perseverance and much hard work, we were able to make Lelah’s dream a reality, and now YSDI is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Tax Exempt Organization!
We are now in the process of developing a variety of programs dedicated to enhancing the Quality of life for people with disabilities by helping them to train a Full Potential Service Dog Partner to perform to his or her full potential in order to provide superior Canine Assistance as well as providing services to Service Dog handlers to help the Handler attain their full human potential, utilizing Canine Assistance, and we rely solely on donations and grants to fund our operation.
