RPA raises and trains assistance dogs to do a variety of practical tasks for children and adults with disabilities.
The impact each dog makes on the life of their recipient is priceless, giving recipients a greater level of independence, self esteem and an overall improvement in psychological well-being and quality of life. Each dog costs approximately $29,000 to rear and train over a two year period.
At the completion of this time the dogs are placed with their recipients at no cost.
