Over the last year, the support of people like you made it possible for us to provide expert care and training for 40 puppies and dogs, many of whom are now being matched with their partner or preparing to be matched. You helped us breed and whelp 13 roly-poly puppies filled with potential. You allowed us to support 47 active partner teams as they navigate life together. And, you helped launch new journeys for our 10 partner teams who graduated in 2025 – including Simon and Neeko.
You’ve helped make it possible for dogs like Neeko to be trained – one word, one task, one breakthrough at a time. For Simon and his family, Neeko’s presence means safety in uncertain moments and confidence to navigate a world that can feel overwhelming.
As Simon’s mother, Patty, shared, “It is Neeko just being there that has given Simon a sense of confidence. It is life‑changing for us.”
That kind of impact doesn’t happen by accident. It takes years of careful instruction, dedicated volunteers and trainers, and steady, faithful support from people who believe in what these dogs make possible.
Thank you to all of you who have supported Saint Francis Service Dogs this year....we are so grateful.
