URGENT — Mobility Service Dog Needed (Arizona)
Sharing on behalf of a dear friend.

She is medically fragile with cancer and heart disease and recently suffered the unexpected loss of her trained mobility assistance service dog. Her dog provided balance support, task assistance, and medical stability. We are devastated.

She now has 5 days to secure a trained mobility service dog or a temporary foster-trained mobility dog to maintain her medical safety.

We are seeking:
• A trained or near-graduation mobility assistance dog
• A service-dog-in-training with solid task reliability
• A foster placement who has experience with mobility/balance support
• Or referrals to organizations with urgent or compassionate placement protocols

Location: Buckeye / Phoenix area (85326) — willing to travel anywhere in AZ and surrounding states for the right match.

We can provide:
• Medical documentation
• Vet references
• Stable home environment
• Ability to meet placement requirements
• Loving, gentle, experienced handler

If you know:
✨ A trainer
✨ A service dog organization
✨ A program with dogs in advanced training
✨ A foster with task-trained mobility dogs
✨ Or someone rehoming a working-trained dog

Please message me directly.
Sharing this post also helps immensely. 💛🙏
