Summit Assistance Dogs

Summit Assistance Dogs is a nonprofit organization that provides highly-skilled mobility, hearing and therapy dogs for people with disabilities.

Assistance dogs increase independence for people with disabilities by performing many tasks such as opening doors, turning on lights, retrieving dropped items, getting the phone in case of emergency and alerting hearing-impaired people to sounds such as doorbells, alarms, the telephone or a crying baby. They also alleviate depression and loneliness by providing unconditional love and companionship.

Since its founding in 2000, Summit has placed 42 assistance dog teams. Many of the dogs trained by Summit are rescued from shelters, thereby providing these animals a new leash on life. To learn how you can help, visit: http://www.summitdogs.org
