My Nonprofit Reviews

As a healthcare professional who has worked in rehabilitation I'm well aware that persons with significant mobility and balance issues cannot be treated and managed with a "one-size fits all" plan. Each requires highly customized treatments, assistive devices and adaptations specific to the individual and their particular needs. In that regard, to expect that a Great Dane service dog will be the answer to the difficulties of every such person is unrealistic. Ms. White, of the Service Dog Project, recognizes those situations for which her Service Dogs have the best potential for bringing successful assistance to someone who is mobility/balance impaired. She also identifies those persons who will likely not benefit. The Service Dog has an important, big job to do. Ms. White and the trainers respect that, and strive for a successful, MUTUALLY happy and life-changing pairing of the person and their dog. There are many factors she weighs with her trainers when they review the needs of an applicant. Sometimes the answer is, unfortunately, that they simply cannot be of assistance. No doubt it's disappointing. However, the success stories of the persons who have benefited from the carefully trained, individually matched Great Danes from the Service Dog Project, and Ms. White's care in placing her dogs appropriately, demonstrates many times over that she understands fully the capabilities of the Danes she raises and trains. She and her staff do great work for the mobility and balance impaired persons they serve.
