We are so happy to announce the very FIRST team to pass our certification process since Blessings Unleashed became provisional members of Assistance Dogs International. Cindy & Jonathon Stephenson with assistance dog "Moe" were certified on October 16, 2009. The team scored excellent in every single category! A very big "Thank You" to our trainer Sandy Otto and the team of Jonathon, Cindy and Moe for the hard work and dedication that it took to prepare for the certification process! It was one of the proudest moments of my life to watch my dream become a reality!
The food, grooming and medical care costs of a service animal are tax deductions.

Blessings Unleashed Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides uniquely trained service dogs and companion dogs for children with autism.
Autism Assistance Dogs...
- Can enrich the quality of life and enhance the independence of families and the child with autism.
- Can accompany the child at all times.
- Can calm the child, reduce emotional outbursts and serve as a positive social link for the child to their home, school and community.
- Can have the potential to improve a child's communication skills and behavior.
- Can improve the family and child's overall quality of life.
Autism has become one of the most common disabilities facing children today. Autism knows no bounds– it affects the rich and poor alike and is quickly reaching epidemic proportions. Our commitment is to enrich the lives of children with autism by training and placing service animals that provide them with companionship and promote independence.
God has given each of you special abilities; be sure to use them to help each other, passing on to others God's many kinds of Blessings. - I Peter 4:10 LB
