There are no gov’t. programs, unfortunately, to help an individual with obtaining a service dog.  You either have to go through a service dog organization ( many want 10k-25k in fundraising efforts to pay for your dog ), or do what I’m doing.  Which is raising my own service dog.  The good news is that the Federal gov’t. does not require any type of certification for your dog to be considered a service dog.  They only have to do a “job” for you.  The best website for info about service dogs is…

The Delta Society has a printable card that has the ADA law on it.  That way you can carry it around with you for any situation where someone tries to deny you entry to an establishment.  The Fed’s are VERY lenient when it comes to service dogs and people with disabilites.
