Dutch Service Dog Foundation
A companion that truly makes a difference
Assistance dogs empower people with greater independence, renewed confidence, and a loyal partner by their side every day.
A Living Lifeline
Assistance dogs support people with physical disabilities by helping with everyday tasks. They can pick up objects, open doors, and assist with mobility—enhancing their handler’s independence and freedom.
An Emotional Guardian
For individuals with mental health conditions, assistance dogs provide vital emotional support. They can detect signs of stress, interrupt panic attacks, and help create a calm and safe environment.
A Life-Saving Watchdog
Specially trained assistance dogs can detect medical emergencies, such as epileptic seizures or blood sugar fluctuations. They can alert others and even call for help when needed.
An assistance dog is always by your side
An assistance dog is always by your side. These loyal partners offer freedom on four paws — giving people more independence, confidence, and support every day.
They help with daily tasks, offer emotional comfort, and are trained to respond in critical moments. More than just helpers, they bring trust, friendship, and a sense of security.
Assistance dogs make a real difference — when it matters most.
