Our programs

PTSD Service Dogs

Asista's PTSD service dog division was founded in late 2012 where we place these dogs with veterans, first responders, children and adults.

Autism Service Dogs

After years of known research, Asista launched its program to support children with autism and their families.

Specialty Service Dogs

Service dogs give individuals with impairments a greater autonomy. Our specialty service dogs help people with severe generalized anxiety disorder. The candidate is evaluated on a case by case basis.

A trained Facility Dog works with a specialized handler in their chosen field, building on canine – human partnerships. The Facility Dog has a set of skills and tasks aiding in intervention for their chosen professional practice.

Becoming a Foster Family

Foster families play a key role in the foundation. A foster family is a family who houses and welcomes a service dog in training into their house for a period of 6 months or less. After the 6 months the canine will begin a specialized training to then be integrated into their new household in need.
