Anybody have any stories on a behavior that your service animal showed that you didn't have to train them on?
Dairyland Greyhound Racetrack in Kenosha, Wisconsin will be closing on December 31, 2009. 500 Greyhounds need to be adopted or they will be euthanized. Please help me get the word out; there are only 6 weeks to get this task done. Contact Joanne Keh…

Hey Folks...Lets help this service dog out. If everyone would just send a little bit it would make a difference in the life of this dog and owner. Thanks and God Bless!
Service dog needs help.

A place to discuss the needs of disabled persons to have service animals, and possibly work on getting Service Animals for more disabled Veterans, as they are desperately needed
Very sorry for your loss.... You may want to consider making your own treats.. my American Bulldog LOVES sliced, fried pieces of sweet potatoes, after they are fried, dried, and cooled off.. she goes NUTS>>>
Welcome all Bulldogs, Pugs, Mastiffs, everyone wrinkled or squished faced. This is a group for anyone who owns or thinking about adopting/purchasing a "bull breed" to share the joys and difficulties that come with owning wrinkled and flat faced pups.
A group for those who love Cryptozoology and cryptids.
Please read the response/appology I wrote today..

Look people, I have been under a major amount of stress.. I found out the doctor that screwed up my first spinal surgery, and did the revision for free, damaged my sciatic nerve, ruining my right leg for the rest of my life. I have to get a full leg…

My medical care has been hell.. a doctor the Army sent me to for a spinal fusion surgery damaged my sciatic nerve badly, on top of the pain from recovering from the fusion, 2 shoulder surgeries, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder..... Stormy, my ser…
I am not looking for sympathy from anyone. the new servic dog meets my needs because my health is declining from line of duty injuries... I need explain no further
Profile Information
- My website or blog:
- http://advocateforsoldiersrights.webs.com
- Proud pet parent of:
- An American Bulldog, 60 pound GORGEOUS blue and brown eyed white and brindle named Stormy, has already showed so many skills as my orthopedic service dog,as well as a PTSD service dog that surprisingly sh did on her own.. as my needs have changed. I have a damaged sciatic nerve thanks to an idiot doctor, who had the stupidness of admitting it. I have to get a full orthotic prosthetic leg brace with recessed joints in case my leg gives out. Stormy is VERY intelligeny and very verbal... she talks to me all the time.
- How we met:
- Adopted at the West Valley Shelter, Los Angeles County
- Pet likes:
- Chew toys, being right next to me, and helping me out constantly
- Pet dislikes:
- cold weather, and people that show rudeness, or anger toward me. Also if someone shows any violent motion toward me, and I have Stormy with me...... you may lose your rear end..... or if you are a guy... hahaha.. Stormy because she can go from an F1 Tornado to an F5 protecting me
- Pet’s favorite spot:
- Dozing off in my lap, or laying on my bed
- Pet’s favorite toy:
- Kongs, and her stuffed squirrel, and her tug of war rope
- Pet’s silliest habit:
- Going nuts over her "Everlasting Treatball"
- Pet’s sweetest moments:
- She will get up on my bed, and sleep either at my feet or try to get by my side if she senses I am in massive pain, or having PTSD related nightmares.
- I crack up when my pet:
- falls off the bed.
- My pet is unique because:
- She already shows the skills necessary to help me as my service dog. She talks and tells me when it is potty time, and she cannot be anywhere without me. She actually noticed a guy behind me in grocery store that didn't know what personal spae was, and she sniffed him, looked at him, she sat, and then pushed him back about 2 feet. The guy was surprised, but I told him to read her patches, and one says PTSD Service Dog, Not all wounds are visible, and proudly served. He then appologized.
STILL fighting for my disability rights since the Army screwed up and didn't follow their own regulations.

Stormy
Stormy, my American Bulldog, shows so much promise as a service dog already.. she knows about my bad leg, and keeps me stable always, and she also knows about my anxiety/etc... She is so very intelligent. She shows awesome skill improvements on what tasks I teach her.

Awesome news
Belle has been completely cleared, and registered as my service dog. Her vest, patches, service dog cards, ID, and a NICE 30 inch lead are on the way this week!!!! Major step for her and myself. I have been taking her with me lately, and she has shown the absolute best behavior. When I go to the counter at a store, she will, without command, sit right there right by my feet. She has also shown some new behaviors that are wonderful. She definitely knows if I am unstable on my feet, and will block… Continue

Wondering
I have now been told by my County Animal Reg people that my dog needs to have some sort of certificate of training, when I had understood that had not been needed, in order for her to be my service dog. I have a hard time asking for assistance or help for anything. I am a Disabled US Army Combat Medic, 4 years in service, and my father has taken me in, and I have been fighting with the Department of the Army, due to non compliance in accordance with Army Regulations, (sent them a 2 inch thick pa… Continue

- I can send you a paper on "Service Dogs" I also have a Sevice Dog I trained myself for the same reasons you have explaines yourself.This is one sentence explained in a legal definition..what is a service dog? The ADA describes a service dog as ANY guide dog,signal dog ,helper dog,or any other animal trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability.If they meet this definition,animals are considered service animals under the ADA regardless of whether they have been licensed OR certified by a state or local government. Could you please call me.My name is Anne 320-217-2331 I went through same thing. I got my dog into my apartment just with Doctors papers and vet papers...he is a legal companion dog ,I can get legal companion tags and cards for total of 60.00 if I choose. Talk soon.

And if I was Full Moon, and knew of your intentions, I would be contacting my attorney. They are a 501c3 and rely on the public's donations to sustain their work and your comments are clearly made to interfere with that. I would imagine they would h…
Hi Barbara,
Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.
This is a group for anyone who wants to voice any opinion that they have on pit bulls. Whether you like them or not, you have a right to your own opinion . Just as long as you remember, If We Kill The Innocent, We Become The Enemy!
Hi,
Did the vet also check the feet that would be your best sourse for information? My dogs tend to lick & chew at their feet a lot also. We've never noticed anything wrong with them. Hope everything is fine.
Poor dogs! I think I might know of someone in central Florida interested. Will check with them!
And if they do not get any help, it will be due to your sabotaging of such. And I hope that anyone that reads this post is well aware of what Ms. Barbara's intentions are and that is to sabotage ASPCA members from helping these groups that are in di…
