I recently started volunteering for JLAD. Joy's (Director) passion is catching. Service dogs are life-changers and the demand is high. It takes a community of selfless volunteers to make it possible for someone to receive a well-trained service dog. I have seen how a service dog changed my daughter's life. Joy operates a professional organization with selfless determination. I am proud to be a part of JLAD.
I joined JLAD over a year ago as a puppy raiser and apprentice; it has been a wonderful experience. This is a group of truly dedicated volunteers who spend much time and energy providing working companions for people living with disabilities. Not only have I learned a tremendous amount about dog training and how much a well trained dog can change a person's life (mine included), I have also learned how boundless people's capacity for giving can be.
Joy, the Executive Director, has dedicated her life to fulfilling the JLAD mission. She is their for every dog and every volunteer, working tirelessly 24/7 to train and provide for our needs so we can get well trained dogs out to our clients as quickly as possible. She has committed the organization to helping our veterans by providing dogs, free of charge, to those in need.
I look forward to a long relationship with JLAD and highly recommend supporting this group in any way possible.
I'm truly blessed to have met Joy and her puppy raisers and have received my Service Dog Mason. This program far exceeded my expectations and dreams :o)!!
