About National Service Dogs:

Founded in 1998, National Service Dogs (NSD) provides service and companion dogs for individuals with special needs. It provides service dogs for children living with Autism and Canadian Military veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). As part of the Canine Assisted Intervention program started in 2013, the charity places service dogs with treatment professionals, working as therapy teams to aid in the recovery of abuse, trauma and physical disorders in children and adults. The charity also provides companion dogs to families and individuals in need.

 

In 2014, NSD graduated 14 Certified Service Dogs for Autism, 4 Certified Service Dogs for PTSD, 3 Canine Assisted Intervention Dogs and 10 companion dogs.

Financial Review:

The administrative costs for NSD were 8% of revenues and fundraising costs were 2% of donations in 2014.

The charity has funding reserves of $125k, which cover 21% of annual program costs. NSD had an outstanding loan balance of $229k at the end of 2014.
