TESTIMONIALS

Service Dog Team Annie & Jimmy, May 2025

Jimmy helps me with things like picking up dropped items and providing balance support while I walk. That alone has significantly reduced my pain and made it possible for me to be more active and independent. I can go more places, do more things, and keep up with life in a way I couldn't before. 

Jimmy is my third service dog, but unlike my first two, who were owner trained, Jimmy came to be trained by K9s 4 Mobility. When I trained my second service dog, I never anticipated that my physical health would decline the way it did, so I did not train any mobility tasks. Now that I have a dog who is trained in those essential skills, everything has changed.  â€‹

As a young person, I often struggle to keep up with friends and felt like I was slowing everyone down. Now, with Jimmy be my side, I can keep up for much longer and enjoy time with my friends without feeling like a burden. I have been able to do more at work and call out less, which has made a big difference in my life.

When I am in a pain flair up, Jimmy loves to curl up with me in bed, offer cuddles or provide deep pressure therapy where I need it most. When it's time to go, even at 3 am, he is up and ready without hesitation. I am so grateful to have a dog like Jimmy who can handle everything I want to attend such as fun, loud environments (with ear protection) with friends to experience the kind of things other people by age are doing. For once, my disabilities are not holding me back and that is thanks to Jimmy.

I want to sincerley thank K9s 4 Mobility for everything they have done for me, the continued support, the guidance with Jimmy and for giving me such an incredible dog to help me navigate life. I truly would not be where I am today without them.

Service Dog Team Patty & Ruger, July 2024

IMG_20240723_102914049_edited.jpg

Everything changed the day Ruger came into my life, July 2024. He is a two-year-old chocolate

lab, full of life and loyalty. Before Ruger, daily life was narrower. Tasks most people take for granted like grocery shopping, church, and doctor visits often seemed insurmountable endeavors. I relied on others for support more than I liked. I declined invitations to social events because of my limited mobility. Now, with Ruger by my side, I move through the world with a steadier sense of independence. More confidence. More possibility.

There is a deep understanding between us. He knows me. He watches, anticipated. If I stir at night, he's already beside me, steadying my steps. He guides me safely up and down stairs. When pain flares in my legs, I rub them - and he responds with gentle licks, coaxing warmth and blood flow back in. He rests his head on my cold feet like a soft, breathing heater. At my desk, he fetches what I drop - phone, pen, and papers with a simple command. He is always there. When I fasten his harness, we move together. Out the door, toward the car, ready for wherever the day might take us. 

K9s 4 Mobility hasn't just given me a dog. They've provided me a partner to navigate this phase of my life- and they continue to support us, making sure his bond stays strong. We attend monthly meetups with other service dogs and their partners. Ruger runs wild with his canine friends while I socialize and share stories with others who understand what this connection truly means. â€‹

Facility Courtroom Dog Team Cindy & Sundance, May 2020

Sundance, aka Sunny, joined the District 6 District Attorney's Office in OK serving four counties of which Jason Hicks is the District Attorney. On the second day of our training, we were asked to participate in a court hearing. This juvenile had previously been very disruptive and the Assistant Attorney in charge wanted to see if Sunny would make the juvenile calmer. Sunny was lying on his work blanket at the defense table where the juvenile was sitting so she could pet him and then rest her feet against his side. The juvenile remained calm throughout the hearing and the judge was very impressed, praising Sunny for his work. Since then, Sunny has been involved with several juvenile hearings, criminal hearings, and meeting with child victims, and he has done his job every time just as he was trained. Recently, there were two child victims, one 12 and one 17, sisters who wanted Sunny to come into the courtroom with them even though they would be sitting in the audience for the defendant's plea. Sunny laid on his blanket at their feet and then when asked accompanied them into the judge's chambers. The younger sister walked Sunny on his leash from the courtroom to the chambers and then Sunny laid down beside her but resting his head on the other sister's feet.

Sunny's presence has positively affected every person he has met, whether it's a victim, courthouse employee or someone he comes in contact with within the office or when he is taking a break outside. District 6 DA's office is proud to have Sunny as a member of the team!

Assistance Dog Team Monica & Gabby, February 2017

It's been nearly two weeks of training with my service dog, Gabby. We have learned a lot together and I feel fortunate to have been supported by K9s 4 Mobility and Michelle Woerner, my trainer.  Graduation day was February 13th! My husband Tom and I often talk about how our lives were so different before Gabby and how wonderful she is.

Assistance Dog Team Heather & Axle, July 2016

Yesterday was Axle & and my 2nd big adventure. Axle, Chad & I went to the county fair Demolition Derby! Axle did incredible! I did NOT expect him to be so cool with the noise after being at the fair with the balloons the day before. I'm so proud of him! Our bond is getting stronger by the day. I couldn't have asked better of a dog (let alone 1/2 as good) on our 3rd week together (2nd week out of training & and on our own).
