Local Teams, Mpacting Dreams
Austin Dog Alliance is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.
We believe dogs can and should be trained to live harmoniously in the home and in the community. We believe the human-canine relationship positively influences the lives of individuals. We believe the bond between humans and dogs can be used to enhance the lives of families and to benefit the community through hospital and nursing home visits, reading dog programs, and educational programs that enhance the self-esteem of our children. We believe that by promoting behavioral training and the benefits of our well behaved dog family members, we can reduce the “recycled dog” problem affecting our community’s shelters.
To achieve our mission, we:
Improves children’s reading and communication skills by employing a powerful method: reading to a dog.
Psychiatric service dogs can be trained to perform a wide variety of tasks that will improve the quality of life for those affected by PTSD and other psychiatric disabilities.
Entertains and educates dog-loving kids through after-school and summer camp programs.
Provides services in nursing homes, hospitals, schools and libraries.
Provides canine-related employment training and placement for adults with autism and other special-needs.

Training is the key to success for pet therapy programs and for enjoying a dog in your home. We offer a wide variety of dog training classes.
Dogs are carefully selected from local shelters.
The Special Dogs for Special Needs program is designed to provide dogs with solid temperaments and training to families who have a special needs child or adult in the home.
