New Horizons Service Dogs, Inc. is a Florida-based, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that breeds, raises, professionally trains, certifies, and places service dogs with individuals who have mobility and balance problems. We have specialized programs for wounded war veterans, veterans with PTSD, and children with autism. We also have facility dogs assisting in other working situations such as rehabilitative facilities, nursing homes, and private homes, depending on the dog’s temperament and abilities.
Since 1995, we have successfully trained and placed almost 700 service dogs with recipients throughout Florida. Our dogs assist individuals by performing daily tasks such as pulling wheelchairs, opening and closing doors, helping with laundry, turning light switches on and off, retrieving dropped items, bracing, getting a phone in an emergency, and preventing a child with autism from wandering off.
New Horizons Service Dogs provide a lifetime of unconditional love and service. They increase our recipient’s self-sufficiency, independence, mobility, self-esteem, and social interactions. Our dogs enable their partners to attend school and gain employment. Service dog ownership is linked to improved health, fewer doctor’s visits, better self-care, and improved overall quality of life.
New Horizons Service Dogs, Inc. is accredited by Assistance Dogs International.
