We work with a variety of disorders including, but not limited to: Autism, Diabetes, P.O.T.S, Allergy alert, Seizure disorders, PTSD and other mental health issues.
In 2008, Rainbow Service Dogs moved to Arizona and opened its doors to its first clients. We work with animal control centers, Humane Societies, and several local rescues to obtain suitable animals for participants. All potential animals are tested for aggression, noise response, and other behavior issues prior to adoption. The animals must display non-aggression to other animals. Individuals are responsible for all adopted animals, their adoption fees, shots and spaying/neutering. (It is a requirement that all animals trained as service dogs be neutered or spayed in order to ensure they live an independent and prosperous life.) Our program offers a sliding scale for all training fees which is based on income. Training costs run between $12.50 to $18.50 an hour for groups and $18.00 to $28.00 on private. In-home visits range up to $30.00 an hour. The first three months are due upon entry to the program and are non-refundable. . Our program includes all AKC testing fees and classes. AKC filing fees for each test are the responsibility of the handler as well as the cost of all patches for each test. Fees range from $15.00 to $25.00 plus $19.00 for AKC PAL registration number (if your dog is not already AKC registered) and patches are $12.00. Upon entrance into the program, members will receive a welcome packet containing class schedules, sample training logs, sample homework sheets and a list of rules and expectations. We are required to maintain records of all immunizations and copies of licensure for all members. (Owners must submit new records every year.)
All members will receive a picture ID for their SD/ PSD which also has the basic laws on the reverse side. This ID must be carried per program requirements at all times when in public with your dog. Upon graduation, handlers will receive a permanent ID.

I have worked with RSD and ****** off and on for about 6 years. We worked, my husband and I with our first dog whom lost to cancer. When ******* passed we were devastated but upon talking to ******, we felt better..Not long after we got two new pups since both my husband I have multiple medical issues. She has worked diligently with us . My Precious does diabetic alert and mobility for me. (Had not missed one high or low which amazes me. Midnight, my husbands Mastiff/ Portuguese water dog mix, actually does multiple tasks from mobility, pulling his wheelchair, retrieving items, opening doors and more. I Rainbow Service Dogs understands the individuals need for a service dog and will offer rates far below many other programs...and even offer a multiple dg discount on top of their already low fees, All monies that ****** receives in the program just go back into supplies. I have even seen her receive money from a client and turn around and hand it to another for a vet bill or dog food hey otherwise would not have. They are amazing.- Elizabeth Turner

Kelley and her team are absolutely amazing. They work with children of various ages and she has helped our two boys achieve getting their service dogs. Both my boys experience severe medical issues. RSD granted a full scholarship for one of my sons and helped Us by giving the second dog at a reduced rate.
