Buster

"Buster has been a great addition to our family! Every day now he is alerting us to either a low or high blood sugar. Our son's A1C dropped 1.2 points in three months, with no change in our diabetes management except Buster's alerts. He is so gentle with the boys - it is a relief to have another set of eyes helping us with our son's diabetes. The training has been fun - the entire family has enjoyed the process."

Gluco

Josh with his diabetic alert dog Gluco, short for Glucose, back from college in 2008. Gluco has been helping Josh enjoy college life by alerting him daily, giving him a great sense of independence and freedom. He says that it would be much more difficult for him to fully enjou school without Gluco.

Dixie

Julie selected a Labradoodle named Dixie for a client with allergies to dogs. Labradoodles are intelligent, loyal dogs and most importantly for this client do not shed.

Dija

Dija is a FEMA certified scent dog. Smell is a dog's primary sense and is said to be a thousand times more sensitive than that of humans. Canines are able to locate everything from forensic materials to disaster survivors because they have more than 220 million olfactory receptors compared to only 5 million in humans.

Oz

Oz is one of our dogs in training. Once fully trained, he will help a child and her parents monitor her blood sugar highs and lows becoming a constant companion and best friend.
