Every dollar trains
a dog that saves a life.

A fully trained psychiatric service dog costs $45,000. No one should be denied hope because of cost. Your gift changes that.

"He would not still be alive without her."

James is 36 years old. His mother is thankful he is still with us. He has an invisible disability — mental health challenges that left him suicidal and hospitalized more than once. Then Nelle, his Phoenix Rising service dog, saved his life. There are millions of people like James.
