$25 - Dog Field Trip

IOWA Service Dogs in-training take all kinds of fun field trips to make sure they can do their job in a variety of places that have all kinds of interesting smells, sights and sounds. Our dogs take field trips to malls, restaurants, bowling alleys, parks, and much more throughout their training. Your gift will help support these field trips.

$150 - Playful Pup

All IOWA Service Dogs love to play when they are not working towards their goal of becoming a service dog. Chasing balls, climbing play structures, solving food puzzles or relaxing in kiddie pools are all important to the dogs’ learning and development. With your gift you will provide stimulating and fun toys for the enjoyment of the dogs in-training.

$1,000 - Training Tools

It takes approximately two years to train IOWA Service Dogs and there is a lot of equipment we use. Crates, step stools, targets, automatic feeders, training room dividers, and balance boards are just to name a few. Your gift will help us purchase equipment for our dogs.

$2,000 - Pup Purchase

Our breeders go above and beyond to provide healthy puppies suitable for service work. Parents of puppies pass health clearances such as genetic testing, special eye examinations, heart health, and orthopedic-certified clearances. Your gift will help purchase a dog from one of our trusted breeders.

$5,000 - Warrior-dog Team Starter kit

Your gift would be providing heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, leash, food pouch, water bowl, backpack, kennel, bed, training materials, food for a year, and lots more. Everything a Warrior Team would need to start off on the right paw is included!

$50 - Feed a dog for a month

An IOWA Service Dogs in-training dog requires a lot of kibble! With over 40 cues to learn, your gift will provide kibble and treats for a dog in-training for a whole month.

$250 - Day sponsors for Warrior-Dog Bonding

It is important for our Warriors to build a bond with their service dog. We require each Warrior to complete multiple training sessions before matching with their service dog. Several training hours after matching and before graduation are also required. Follow-ups and yearly program re-certifications once they have graduated ensure the Warrior Team are working their best together. Your gift allows a Warrior to come work with their dog for a day, allowing for transportation, lodging and food.

$1,200 - Pup Insurance

Our dogs in-training have a lot to learn in the two years. Providing routine health care is important for their ability to learn and be successful. Pup insurance helps cover the cost of routine care for our dogs. Your gift will cover the cost of pup insurance for one dog.

$3,500 - Healthy Pup

From the routine puppy boosters to adult maintenance vaccinations and beyond, making sure our dogs are healthy and happy is our top priority. We also require our dogs to be spayed or neutered and provide x-rays to ensure each dog has a long and safe working career. Your gift will help with vet care of a pup.

$10,000 - Train a Pup

There is a lot of training in the two years for an IOWA Service Dog to graduate with a Warrior. Your gift will help cover all the associated training costs including retreats, trips, and classes taught by professional dog trainers.

$100 - Wash a pup

Keeping our dogs in-training looking and feeling their best is very important to their health and well-being. IOWA Service Dogs' volunteers and instructors take time each week to bathe, brush teeth, clip nails and groom each dog in-training. This isn’t for just looks; it’s also part of their training so grooming is easy once they are placed with their Warrior. Your gift will help provide clippers, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, delicious toothpaste and more!

$500 - Dress a Pup

We know that a service dog is more than a vest. Your gift will provide gear such as boots to protect paws from hot pavement and ice to special harnesses to keep our pups safe during training. This also includes the basics such as collars and leashes.

$1,500 - Emergency Fund

Unfortunately, pet insurance won’t cover everything. We will need additional funds in moments when a dog has an emergency or needs to see a specialist. Your gift will help in those times of need.

$4,000+ - Name a pup

All of the IOWA Service Dogs have meaning behind their names. Your gift will allow you to name an IOWA Service Dog as well as provide a short bio behind the name. This pup name and bio will be on our website with the pup, on the pup’s trading card as well as be shared with the Warrior.

$20,000+ - Everything a service dog needs

Your gift will help with everything from purchasing a puppy to providing for the newly-formed Warrior Team. This includes all the equipment, food, health care, training and more that goes into creating the best possible service dog.
