KSDS vision is to contribute to a world where all people who would benefit from a professional-trained canine will be matched with the perfect partner.  

In the past twenty-six years, KSDS has placed over 500  assistance dog teams.   KSDS is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit.  All team placements occur at no cost to them, other than a $25 application fee.

KSDS's early beginning started in 1990 when a group of 4-H leaders were helping raise puppies for another assistance dog organization on the west coast. In that process, they learned there wasn't any assistance dog school in the midwest. KSDS wanted to fill that need, not only in the midwest, but throughout the United States.
