Rags to Riches asked in PetsDogs · 1 decade ago

Is there an agency in the greater Pittsburgh, PA, area that provides assistance dogs for the elderly?

I have heard of programs that train service dogs for the elderly. I was hoping to find a program that would provide a dog to assist with mobility and balance, fetching the phone, carrying small items, etc. My 73 year old Mom has mobilty issues and needs a cane or walker to ambulate and is alone during the day and would benefit from and be more active with a trained service dog. I was hoping to find such a program in or near the greater Pittsburgh, PA, area.
