At Wellness Wags Assistance Dogs, our mission is to support Nova Scotians with disabilities by providing them with highly trained service dogs, free of charge. Our purpose-bred dogs are meticulously trained to assist individuals with daily tasks, enhance safety, and significantly improve their quality of life. While it costs $40,000 to raise, train and place each service dog, our unwavering mission is to ensure they are provided at no cost to the individuals whose lives they transform. Each service dog represents a significant investment of resources, from breeding, training, nutrition, equipment, veterinary care and extensive health and genetic screening to ensure our dogs are fully physically sound for a working career. However, we are committed to offering these life-changing companions at no cost to our clients, ensuring that financial constraints never hinder access to independence and support.

Our Sponsorship Information Package delves into the various ways your organization can partner with us to make a tangible difference. We offer a range of sponsorship levels, each designed to align with your capacity to give and your desire for involvement. By sponsoring a service dog, your organization not only contributes to transforming lives but also gains recognition through various channels, including branding opportunities on the service dog’s vest, acknowledgment on our website, and features in our promotional materials.

Moreover, our training philosophy is rooted in positive reinforcement and ethical practices, ensuring that our dogs are not only effective in their roles but also enjoy their work. We are dedicated to the ongoing education of our trainers and clients, reflecting our commitment to humane methods and continuous improvement.

By partnering with Wellness Wags, your organization demonstrates a commitment to fostering independence, confidence, and inclusivity within Nova Scotia. Your support directly impacts our ability to acquire and breed suitable, stable, healthy dogs, provide top-tier training, and cover essential care costs such as veterinary services, nutrition, and equipment. Together, we can ensure that every individual who needs a service dog has access to one, regardless of their financial situation.

We invite you to explore our Sponsorship Information Package below to learn more about how you can be part of this transformative journey. Your partnership can make a profound difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities, their families, and the broader community.
