History: Eileen's husband
needed to find work, so her family was relocating to another city on
a tight budget. She was
worried about the cost of the move and how it would affect her son
and his dog. She shared with us that her child was autistic with
ADHD and that her son had a real connection with their dog,
Clyde. “The
thought of my
son losing his best friend
because of housing rules is unthinkable.” After discussing with
Eileen her child’s' situation, we learned that Clyde help
her son, Sean, so much it seemed to be a miracle. Clyde
helped
Sean with anxiety, fits of rage, balance and companionship problems.
Clyde and Sean had become inseparable over the past two years. They
did everything together and Sean had shown so many improvements as a
result, it was hard for Eileen to express all of Clyde's positive
effects on Sean's life.

Services: Humane Rescue Society
helped Eileen to understand what a service animal is and how Clyde
qualified for certification. Humane Rescue Society
explained to Eileen how she could use a Service
Animal Certification with housing management companies to qualify for
exemptions to pet policies, pet fees & deposits.
Results: After
helping Eileen contact K9 Service Animals, Clyde received his service
animal certification. Now Clyde can go with Sean anywhere. Not only
is Clyde allowed in any housing, but he can also go with Sean to
school, doctors' offices, or anywhere he is needed.
