Apply
Apply for a service dog — at no cost to you.
To be considered for a service dog and to see if The American Service Dog Foundation is a good fit for you, we need to learn more about you. After you complete this application, we will get in touch with you for further details.
Eligibility
- You are a resident of the United States and at least 18 years old (applications for minors are reviewed with a parent or guardian).
- You have a documented physical, psychiatric, or neurological disability that a trained service dog could help with.
- You are able to meet a dog's daily needs — food, exercise, grooming, and routine veterinary care — with support if needed.
- Your home environment is stable, safe, and welcoming to a working dog.
- You are able to participate in hands-on team training with your dog before placement.
What happens next
- We review your application and reach out with questions.
- A conversation about your daily life, needs, and home.
- Matching with a dog in training whose task work fits your needs.
- Team training together, then placement — free of charge.
