MISSION STATEMENT
Eagles' Wings Service Dogs mission
is to
increase the independence and improve the quality of life for individuals
with mobility impairments by providing dogs from shelters or rescues who are
trained for service. Each dog will be trained to meet the specific needs of
individual recipients.
We believe that by training
selected shelter dogs to assist individuals both the dog and the individual
benefit by gaining greater independence,
and becoming contributing members of the community.
Each dog is trained to meet the
needs of individual recipients. Our goal is to initiate a lifelong bond and
partnership between the
individual and service dog, and to offer professional
training and monitoring for the team on an on-going basis. This goal limits our
range to approximately 200 miles surrounding Williamsport, PA.
"They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be
weary,
they shall walk and not faint".
Isaiah 40 v. 31.
Eagles' Wings Service Dogs will assist
individuals with picking up objects, carrying objects for their
partner and balance activities and could be trained to
assist individuals with specific needs such as turning light
switches on and off, elevator buttons and retrieving a portable
phone. The dogs not only assist with physical activities but
also give confidence and companionship to their human
partners permitting the individuals to enter into community
activities with a sense of independence.
