Review for Glad Wags Service Dogs Inc, Skiatook, OK, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My experience with this non profit is.. just about the only way I was able to graduate highschool, without the help from gladwags.. I'm sure I would have had to skip graduation or even drop out if it wasnt for gladwags.
I have what used to be called "asperger's syndrome" but is now referred to as Autism Spectrum disorder, school was hard on me. I was told to act normal and disregard myself.
This all changed once I started to look up the benefits of service dogs.. by then I looked at so many different programs, some wanted up to 30k and.. would only place dogs with kids with autism.
I then found gladwags. We first chatted on the phone and me being a bit mute at times, my grandpa set up our first meet. We were open to a poodley doodley creature with low/no sheading. Fast forward about 3? Months later. We went to the training facility and were surprised that she had this beautiful poodle in the back, she brought him out to me and he immediately alerted to an oncoming melt down/panic attack and we spent weeks going up to class to see him. When the day came that I was able to take him home for the first day, I was(and still am) so thankful for him. He and I sat in my room, by my bed and we watched the Simpsons together. Months onward we kept him home! Still going to class each week to work on task work and getting ready for public access.
Today? As of October 31st 2018, hes still my right hand man, and believe me. I wouldnt trade him for anything that this earth has to offer.
This non profit is.. not only one to help those with disabilities,but to be able to help coach a family and even become family with the parcipients.
