Facility Dog Applications

 
Mutts With A Mission - Facility Dog Program
 

Full-Time Employees… with fur.

In response to the overwhelming need for Facility Dogs in state and federal agencies, Mutts With A Mission is now placing Facility and Courtroom Dogs across the country.

Our Facility Dogs undergo the same rigorous training program that our Service Dogs go through; however, instead of helping an individual with a disability, Facility Dogs ultimately assist multiple people to cope after a traumatic event or overly stressful environment. We have placed Facility Dogs with Police Departments and Courtroom Dogs to assist with victims testifying in court.

If your agency is interested in the benefits of a Facility Dog, please submit an application.
