What Makes Guardian Angels Unique?

See How We Work

Our Philosophy

The Guardian Angels philosophy is built around being positive. We use positive reinforcement training techniques exclusively while training our dogs. We positively commit ourselves to our recipients and train each dog to the exacting needs of each recipient. If we match a dog with a recipient, and for whatever reason the match isn’t right – we will fix it. Our only goal is to ensure that our recipients are thriving with their service dogs.

Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs, Inc. was established for the charitable purpose of:

Service & Assistance

Rescuing, raising, and training the highest caliber medical service/assistance dogs.

Highly Trained Service Dogs

Pairing highly trained dogs with individuals afflicted by disabilities, including a focus on veterans with combat wounds.

Quality of Life

Building/restoring independence and improving quality of life, for both the recipient and the dog, while minimizing reliance on government, communities, caregivers, and families.

Training Practices

Advancing successful service dog training practices by promoting appropriate trainer education and contributing to related research studies.

Awareness & Education

Pursuing increased public awareness and education regarding current disability laws and contributing to new/enhanced laws regarding service dogs.
