Lisbon Assistance Dogs is a small, standards-driven program based in Lisbon, Portugal. We train and place assistance dogs, and we document and verify every record we issue.
Lisbon Assistance Dogs trains and places assistance dogs for people whose disability affects their daily safety and independence, and documents every placement so it can be checked and trusted.
A world where people who need an assistance dog can obtain one that is properly trained, with a record that anyone can verify.
