Support RI

Through generous donors, we cover over half the cost of these amazing service dogs. The other portion is covered by the sole fundraising efforts of the recipients.

For some, this part of their financial contribution is easy to raise but for others, it is an unachievable barrier. We have deserving individuals that we can’t match with their own service dog due to lack of funding. This is where you come in.

Guidestar Platinum Transparency SealDoes your company match your donations? Do you want to donate your birthday / wedding / graduation to RI? Does your local organization want to learn more about RI and host a fundraiser?

We are available to come spread the word about this life changing work – and we come with DOGS! Contact us for more information.
