Because service doesn't end when the vest comes off.

The SDEF aims to preserve the quality of life of service dogs throughout their working years and into retirement, because a dog that gives so much deserves ongoing care, not just training.

What We Do

At SDEF, we're starting small - connecting volunteers with service dog handlers for regular walks, with plans to grow into enrichment days, gear grants, and a retired service dog fund. Sign up to volunteer as a dog walker today, and help us build something bigger for the dogs who give so much to us.
