I have just heard UNOFFICIALLY that Special Skills Dogs of Canada (SSD) will be willing to train a SSD for a pwp. They just need to work on their waiting list and receive the request from a suitable parkie. Special Skills Dogs of Canada is a program organised by the Lions Foundation of Canada based in Oakville, Ontario. Trained dogs for many disabilities are already in service all over Canada. The dog and all training is free to the client, who starts paying for upkeep, food, vets, etc., only after graduation from the school. All training expenses are paid for by donations, mainly from service clubs (not just Lions), employee funds and corporations. No, I don't work for them. I am a Lion, the dog guide programs are my favourite charity, LInda and I do some fundraising for them and we also foster some puppies. I promote the programs whenever I can. For more information, get back to me or call the school direct at 905 842 2891. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year les stevens, Tottenham, Ontario [log in to unmask]
