How to apply for a Dogwish K9


THE TRAINING FEE

If we individually priced the K9s we place with disabled individuals whom we train dogs for, we would charge accordingly:
Service Assistance helper K9 $10,000
Search and Rescue $8,000 to 12,000
Police K9 $8,000 to 15,000
Seizure Alert K9 $10,000
Therapy K9 $4,500
Communications K9 $8,000
Psychiatric K9 $10,000
Sight Assistance K9 $10,000
Hearing Assistance K9 for the Deaf   $10,000

Most of the K9s we place are combinations of many of the above dogs. By modifying the training and combining the talents of each dog in several fields of effort according to the needs of each recipient, we cover a multitude of areas with each K9 we place at a greatly reduced price. The minimal price requested for our K9s is $10,000.00.


THE PROCESS

      In an effort to make our K9s more affordable, we are asking each receiving family to:
  1. Provide a minimum down payment of $2,500.00. This can be broken down into payments. Each family may provide a larger down payment, or may pay for their K9 without the help of the DOGWISH Foundation as they desire.
  2. Work with the DOGWISH Foundation to provide an additional $7,500.00 or more in donations during the next six months, for the boarding, care, and training of your K9. We use fliers that can be sent out over the internet, passed out at work, hospitals, church, in businesses, etc. We've seen great response in donations to this process.
