Southwest Service Dogs (SWSD) is a 501c3 charity that works with children to raise, train and provide highly skilled service dogs to people with disabilities. SWSD is privately funded and receives no government money.

We are the only organization of this kind in the state of Arkansas, and we serve all of Arkansas as well as eastern Oklahoma. Our programs are designed specifically to help children as well as to include children in the training and socialization that our dogs need to assist their future partners with disabilities.

The goal of Southwest Service Dogs is to provide highly trained dogs that assist people with mobility disabilities. The dogs can be the hands and feet for people by retrieving the telephone, going for help, opening and closing doors, removing items of clothing, retrieving dropped items, and many other tasks.

HELP US FIND A HOME!

We do not have a place to hold Team Trainings (where the client and dog are matched) or to hold our many programs with children. We need a building large enough to house the dogs and provide training areas for clients who use wheelchairs. A building of 10,000 square feet with land surrounding it to be made into play yards would be ideal. We would be very willing to relocate to Little Rock or Northwest Arkansas.
