Hey Lisa. Hope your good!
I started a groundbreaking new organization called DogAbility. (
www.dogabilityLI.org)
Being friends with Katie who started Horseability was why I chose the name. She
hosted our first sessions last fall
We bring n therapy dogs and have them engage with special needs kids in
activities using the elements of agility, Rally, NoseWork , Treiball and Flyball
all modified for their abilities
Our new spokesperson is nancy burpee who was a Paralympic swimmer for the USA !
Her lower half of her body is having a tough time due to her disease and she
needs a DOG!!!
She needs a specially trained service dogs with skills specific to her needs.
Shed like a dog to support her " tippy" body and also be her best friend! She
also needs one that will " pull her out of the water" after swimming. Perhaps
carry things in a saddle bag while she walks, and whatever skills we want to
add.
she will be on TV promoting DogAbility and the dog will be highlighted !!
I wondered if you or anyone you know would " donate" an adult large breed dog to
be trained by me and represent DogAbility and also be able to be a brace dog and
pull her out of the pool
Whoever donates this dog will be highlighted as well !
She can't wait for a dog. She needs it NOW. She can't handle a puppy so it needs
to be an adult
