Atlas Service Dogs
Atlas Assistance Dogs is a non-profit organization whose mission is to support people with disabilities to train their own service dogs, educate ethical trainers, strengthen the human-canine bond, and promote a more inclusive society.

One in four Americans lives with a disability, yet fewer than 1% benefits from a service dog. High costs, long waitlists, and a lack of qualified and ethical trainers are all barriers for people to access the service dog that could change their life. Learn how Atlas is breaking down these barriers, creating partnerships, and changing lives.
