Help us to say yes to more families

Demand for Autism Assistance Dogs has soared by 53%, yet only 1 in 3 families will receive a dog in 2026.

Why get an Assistance Dog?

Irwin keeps Joe safe. He walks beside him, watches him, steadies him. He helps him cross roads, navigate crowds, and find peace when emotions rise. Irwin is more than a service dog. He’s Joe’s big brother in a fur coat.
