Payment for special needs or military families

We don't charge special needs or military families for our canine-assisted services, and don't turn anyone away for lack of funds. However, families are encouraged to support the services we provide by making a tax-deductible donation based on what is appropriate for your budget. 

Our programs are 100% volunteer driven. Any donations we receive go towards program expenses, which allows us to continue our services. Swim lessons include a sensory play room before/after lesson. Siblings are welcome to participate in play during student’s lesson too.

Thank you so much for supporting and believing in our work! ​

Payment for canine-swimming experience for neuro-typical & able bodied kids.

​This class is just for fun where kids can have the experience of swimming and mock water rescues with a dog. 

$30 for a ½ hour session
$50 for a 1 hour session

Classes include sensory play room before/after swim experience. Please click the donate button above to make your payment.
