Thank you for joining us in our goal for Ronin's Austim service dog.  Ro is inherently bright, courageous, and verbose but he's had difficulty expressing himself appropriately in social and academic situations that challenge him.  These difficulties have deteriorated his ability to make and maintain friendships and in his education.  His dad and I agree that a service dog would encourage social skills and keep him calm during his studies and would complement other therapies and treatments. 
It takes approximately 6 months to fully train a labrador retriever from Canines4Hope.  We hope to bring the pooch home by June 2016.  Funds will go directly to the cost of the training and dog.  $12,150.00
I cannot express enough how much your donation would mean to Ronin and our family. 

Sincerely,
Joy
