ABOUT PRISM K9

Our mission at PRISM K9 is to provide modern families, individuals, and facilities with Service Animals to enhance their lives and make productivity positive. These animals should help mitigate a disability, provide comfort to their people, work alongside humans, and more.

PRISM K9 is committed to working on a shorter timeline than many service dog organizations, in order to provide help quickly for those who need it most. We strive to place dogs within 18 months of an application and finished interview process.

PRISM K9 is also committed to serving individuals who may not fit into the typical standard that many organizations serve. We specialize in special dogs for special people. We train multi-purpose Service Animals - such as a dog who provides light mobility plus medical alert. We train Autism Service Dogs - to partner with an adult, or a child plus their adult caretaker. We train Facility Dogs - to provide light and life to all who interact with them. And more!

PRISM K9 works with low-allergen dogs, sometimes called “hypo-allergenic dogs,” in order to maintain a high standard for our clientele who need the low-allergen environment. These are generally Miniature Schnauzers, Airedale Terriers, and other similar breeds (sometimes including Doodles).
