STEP ONE – APPLICATION
The first step to getting a dog from GHSD is to submit an application.
Applications can be submitted online or in person at a live event. There is a $50 application fee that must be collected before the application can be processed. Once we have received your application and fee, our staff will review it and reach out to you for a consultation.
STEP TWO – CONSULTATION
The consultation is used to establish a connection between you and our staff.
We want to learn more about you and make sure that we understand your needs as well as help you understand our process. The meeting lasts about 15-45 minutes and will be crucial to you getting further documents to apply for a service dog. This is a great time to have a genuine conversation and ask us any questions you may have.
STEP THREE – DOCUMENTATION
After the consultation we will send you over additional documentation to provide medical information and referrals to our organization.
Once you complete and send in all of the required documentation and everything looks correct we will write up a customized contract for you that goes over the program details, pricing, and deposit. We want to make sure this is the right decision for you, so it is crucial that you take your time and discuss all of your options with your family.
STEP FOUR – SUCCESS
Once all contracts and deposits have been received, the journey begins!
Although the road has just begun, it is now time to get to the important part of your journey. We will get in touch with you to go over the next steps which include fundraising, training updates, in-person training, and continued support for you and your new companion.
