My Nonprofit Reviews

Dogs for Better Lives saw fit to place Deacon, an incredible Facility Dog, with me this year. As a special education teacher working with students with learning differences, medical diagnosis and autism spectrum disorder, Deacon is a perfect fit for my classroom and my students. I can not begin to express how exceedingly fortunate I feel to have been chosen for Deacon. The care, time and love that went into his impeccable training from Dogs for Better Lives has made him the most amazing gift. Deacon is trained to work not only with my students in calming, redirection and motivation, but he's also willing and happy to work with my colleagues during this unusual (and difficult) distance learning season.
DBL has made the whole process seamless and have gone above and beyond to ensure that the transition for Deacon and me was perfect.
I look forward to many years with this amazing animal and to sharing all of the gifts he brings with my students.
