Legend's Heroes accepted Service Dog Scholarship applications for placement of these dogs from Nov 18th - 27th 2022 athttps://zcu.io/d0EJ 

Angela Walser of Golden Doodles of Surprise contacted Legend’s heroes, donating two puppies to be placed with veterans for service dog training.  We were happy to accept her generous donation of Lil Bit and Lacy. 
 
At Legend Acres we reached out to our network to find candidates for selection for puppy placement.  After review of the applications selection was narrowed down to two candidates who underwent an interview process and final approval. 

Out of the candidates that we received we are happy to announce Larissa and Lyle as the Puppy recipients.  The puppies are scheduled for pick up on Saturday December 3rd,   where Larissa and Lyle get to meet their puppies and take them home for the first time. The two pairs are going to spend several weeks bonding with their puppies prior to starting with their service dog training classes in January 2023.

About Legend's Heroes Service Dog Training Program:

Legend's Heroes Service Dog Training Program, offered through Legend Acres Dog and Horse Solutions, will bring an innovative approach to getting psychiatric service dogs to those who need them. Service dogs can help those recovering from PTSD accomplish daily tasks, provide situational assessments, and guide handlers out of stressful situations. 


Legend's Heroes program was launched in March of 2020 and consisted of service dog training for service dog teams, including PTSD Service Dogs, Psychiatric Service Dogs, and Mobility Support. The trainers can determine if a person's current pet is appropriate for completing the Service Dog Certification Program or assist with dog selection to meet the criteria. 


Through virtual and on-demand courses, participants in the program can complete their own time in a safe space for them. 

 

Upon acceptance into the Legend's Heroes Service Dog Training Program, a participant can have a fully trained service animal under two years and $3000 or less. Traditional programs can take 1-4 years to get a psychiatric service dog in the hands of someone who needs them and can cost up to $15000. 

 

The Legend Heroes Service Training Program is a two-year program consisting of an initial training plan of four canine obedience courses, public access test, and task dog training with follow up sessions over the next year.
