Looking for Jedi Sponsors

The cost of obtaining, training and maintaining a service dog can be a very pricey journey.  A dog trained as a working dog is not the same as a pet dog, even though the dog does fill the emotional needs that a pet fills as well.  We are now looking for a Sponsor for Jedi.  Here is a run-down of the costs for the first year...

Costs for Service Dogs

•  it costs $22,000 to train and place a service dog with a disabled child..
• Upon completion of training, service dogs are required to be re-certified annually
• It costs about $1,500 – $2,000 to maintain a service dog each year…about $100 a month.
• initial cost of dog $1100.00
• 1st year of vaccinations $305.88
• Spay done at 5-6 months of age $486.96
• equipment costs (vest, service dog i.d tags and "in training" tags", training equipment,  approx. $500.00
• monthly food cost, training treats, etc $100/monthly

So, as you can see, the cost of a specially trained dog is quite expensive.  We are cutting the cost drastically be training Jedi ourselves and by June I will be a certified trainer, so this helps off-set the cost as well.
