[NAGDU] Support Dogs

[Caitlyn Furness]

Hi David,

I don’t know what schools are in Florida, but Paws with a Cause, in Michigan, does provide dogs like this.  You can also try Canine Companions for Independence, which is based in California, but they have other locations as well..
hth,

Her child is having progressive balance issues and may be wheel chair bound if she cannot find a school that provides dogs for physical support.  She is concerned that a lab or golden might be too attractive for her young son to be able to handle interference from strangers.
