Righteous Pups is the only organisation in Australia to train and place Autism Assistance Dogs with children who have an Autism Spectrum Disorder.
As you can imagine, these Autism Assistance Dogs are receive significant and intensive highly specialised training, comprehensive socialisation and as elite athletes are kept in impeccable health and provided with the best nutrition. At a cost of $29,000, per dog over an 18 month training period.
Once placed, these Autism Assistance Dogs and the children and families they are placed with, are provided with considerable and ongoing support and service.
Australian families wrestling with Autism Spectrum Disorders receive very little Government funding or assistance and many endure severe financial hardship. Our desire is that each Autism Assistance Dog will be placed at no cost to the recipient family.
With 62 families already on the waiting list to receive an Autism Assistance Dog, we have a lot of money to raise.
It's a tall order and we simply cannot do it alone.
Together we can... transform the lives of some very special Aussie kids.
Any contribution you can make will help us to reduce the time it takes to place an Autism Assistance Dog with an Autistic child in Australia.
