These specially task-trained dogs can assist by finding another person to lead to the person with a disability, alerting when help is needed, alerting to high and/or low blood sugar, retrieve medication, and many other tasks that may be needed by a person with a disability. At Hub City Service Dogs, our training is personalized for the individual handler and their specific needs.
At Hub City Service Dogs, we primarily focus on psychiatric service dogs and Type 1 diabetes. We will review applications for other medical alerts such as seizures and signal dogs. Approval is determined by tasks needed (as determined by the handler's healthcare provider), service area, and is case-by-case.
