Saving Grace Service Dogs

Saving Grace Service Dogs trains and places service dogs for people with disabilities in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, serving Arkansas and beyond since 2002. The organization provides personalized training designed around each owner’s needs, with experience supporting children with autism and people with seizures, chronic illness, PTSD, anxiety, and chronic pain. Depending on the individual, dogs may assist with daily tasks, mobility, retrieving objects, opening doors, providing deep-pressure therapy, or responding to signs of distress.

Saving Grace aims to make service dog training more accessible. Its stated fee is $3,000 down, followed by $250 monthly until the dog graduates, and it offers a four-week introductory program for people who want to explore the process before committing. The organization reports graduating 160 service dogs. It also operates a hands-on service dog trainer school for people interested in becoming trainers. Saving Grace works with owners throughout training to tailor each dog’s skills to their specific requirements and encourages prospective clients whose disability is not listed to get in touch.
