Saint Francis Service Dogs - A New Story

A NEW STORY A CLOSER LOOK

New Training and Education Center

Our new Training and Education Center will be the heart of the next part of the Saint Francis story. It will be a place where purpose meets preparation, where skills become service, and where every new life-changing partnership begins. It is a vital step in strengthening and expanding our 18-acre campus - bringing our training and education programs together in a space that reflects the excellence of our mission. This thoughtfully designed and spacious facility will replace the aging and small house that has served as our partner classroom and main training space for decades. It will be a building that creates an environment worthy of the life-changing work that will happen inside its walls everyday. At any given time, we have around 40 dogs in different stages of training and dozens of candidates waiting to be matched. We are also supporting around 50 active teams through ongoing education and training. Each dog we train and every person we serve will benefit from this new building. With its construction, we’re not just expanding capacity - we are ensuring that every single dog, every single partner, and every single story has the space to begin, grow, and thrive.
