Connecting you with a devoted companion is our joy.
Every day we witness the incredible bond that forms between individuals and their service dog. These loyal and highly trained dogs provide not only practical assistance, but also an abundance of love, support and hope.

Giving adults in custody a purpose to live more positive and productive lives, while contributing to the community as dedicated JLAD trainers.

Hear from Paired Companions
Diego has provided me with more confidence in meeting the blessings of everyday life. I experienced firsthand the life changing ways service dogs affect veterans in need. God bless all of you at JLAD for giving me, a veteran, the opportunity to be free. As you are now on point, thank you for your service. God, Honor, Country
He patiently keeps reminding me to drop it, that he is here with me and he has my back. And thanks to all of you for everything you have poured into this strange and wonderful creature, I am starting to believe that he does. I send you all at JLAD every drop of gratitude a human heart can hold. Thank you for this gift. Big love,
Jake has made my life so much better. He goes with me to all of my infusion appointments and specialists. He has not only comforted me and taken away so much stress but everywhere we go I see smiles from all who see us together. At physical therapy the people that are in the office say he even takes away their stress.
I know, that had it not been for Tollie, my situation could have been — would have been — a lot worse. I am forever grateful to Tollie and to The Joys of Assistance Dogs who selected him as a puppy for training, raised him, loved him, trained him, and trusted him to take care of me, especially in an emergency. I love you, Tollie!
