Service Dog Awareness Month!

Service Dog Awareness Month is an annual observance to raise public awareness around the valuable services these dogs provide to their disabled handlers. Despite its name, Service Dog Awareness Month is really less about the dog and more about the unlimited potential and invaluable contributions those of us who use service dogs to mitigate our disabilities make to our community. In order for us to realize our full potential and have the opportunity to make our contributions, Service Dog Awareness Month helps remove the artificial barriers faced by those of us who use service dogs. Advocates for service Animal Partners knows awareness is not an annual event but a year round occurrence . We also know that all rights have responsibilities. The guidance offered balances the MUTUAL rights and responsibilities of service animal handlers and the businesses we patronize. Below are table tents for specific industries along with a 1-page summary of these rights and responsibilities to give to your staff. These tents not only share important information, they provide a QR code linking to additional resources and our hotline number to speak with a trained advocate. The table tents are best printed on card stock and folded according to the instructions so they stand better. The guidance documents are intended as a double-sided single page. Each download file also includes ASAP’s informational brochure with additional access and etiquette tips. These resources are provided free of charge. If you would like to make a tax-deductible contribution to support the work of Advocates for Service Animal Partners, we invite you to support us.
