Video stories
Real recipients, in their own words, with the dogs that changed their lives.
Levi shares how his service dog Luka has changed his day-to-day life, from confidence in public to independence at home.
Scott talks about the partnership he's built with Bullet and what having a trained service dog at no cost has meant for his family.
Cathleen describes life with Oliver by her side — the tasks he performs and the freedom he's given back to her.
“Working with The American Service Dog Foundation has been the most AMAZING thing that has happened to me.”
Before Buddy, everyday tasks felt like mountains. Buddy reminds Nichole when it is time to take her medication, grounds her when anxiety builds, and gives her the confidence to move through public spaces again. What used to be a source of dread — a grocery run, a doctor's appointment — is now something she does with a steady companion at her side.
“Receiving a dog from The American Service Dog Foundation has been a transformative experience for me.”
Theo lives with PTSD. His service dog offers a calming presence throughout the day and knows how to interrupt and support him during an anxiety attack. Nights are quieter. Crowded rooms are survivable. The dog does not erase what Theo carries, but it walks with him through it.
“It has genuinely transformed my life.”
After a back injury left Lisa with a permanent physical disability, simple things — a dropped set of keys, a closed door — became barriers. Her service dog retrieves items, opens doors, and has given her back an independence she thought she had lost for good.
If you or your dog were placed by The American Service Dog Foundation, we'd love to hear how life has changed. Your story helps another person believe this is possible for them too.
