                                                  THE DOGS








  Through generous donations from breeders, we have had some amazing dogs to work with.


Each puppy is raised in loving homes with a volunteer raiser who is dedicated to helping foster growth, training and development of the puppy.  The volunteer raisers attend weekly meeting where the work with D.A.D.’s Director of Training, Kristin Tarnowski.  At these meetings, the raisers learn new techniques for training and go on outings to stores and restaurants in preparation for the dog’s work as a service animal. 


Dogs Assisting Diabetics provides the volunteer with all the necessary food, training equipment and veterinary care for the puppy.  It is through donations that this program is able to thrive.
