Devanley Dogs Making a Difference in the Lives of Others

Proudly, Devanley is the breeder behind dogs that have become service dogs and therapy dogs.  More often than not, these dogs come from one  of our own breedings and, occasionally, out of one of our stud dogs.  

Therapy dogs are typically trained by their owners with the aid of a certified trainer by providing educational resources, field training, and assessment screenings. Therapy dogs are dogs who go with their owners to volunteer in settings such as hospitals, nursing homes, and schools. Your dog will need to be certified through an organization prior to working in these situtations.

Service dogs, as defined by the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), are individually trained to perform specific tasks and to work with people with disabilities and the work of the service dog must be directly related to the handler’s disability. These disabilities can be “physical, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disabilities” according to the ADA.

Under no circumstances should you ever pass your pet or therapy dog off as a service dog.
