Welcome to WAGS
Our highly-skilled service dogs provide functional independence and promote an improved quality of life for people with physical disabilities.
WAGS has facilitated more than 200 partnerships with service dogs for people with physical disabilities. Read more about WAGS.
WAGS works exclusively with Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers. WAGS dogs are raised, socialized, and trained by volunteers under the direct supervision and guidance of our Training Director. See our current WAGS dogs in training.
