Who We Are Service Dogs for Victims of Assault (SDVA) trains dogs as service animals for crime victims/survivors. These specially trained dogs are trained to mitigate each victims/survivors disability and instill realistic confidence in victims/survivors who are still addressing the traumas of their rapes, assaults, or stalking experiences. The Americans With Disabilities Act as well as other Federal Regulations, protect individual rights to have a service animal. SDVA provides complete services to the dogs and the clients including: * Educational programs to teach the public about having dogs for hidden disabilities. * Publicity which educates about SDVA's services. * Spaying and neutering all dogs in our program. * Fund raising activities which finance the SDVA programs. * Placement of dogs who do not complete training in permanent pet homes.
