TLCAD is entering one of its most exciting years ever. Our numbers of volunteers and puppies keep growing and, as Chairman, it is often hard to keep up with all of them but it is well worth it! This organization, with its commitment to place quality assistance dogs at no cost to the recipient, continues to be a source of pleasure to all of us as we see the miracles our dogs are making in the lives of their new handlers.

In 2008 we will celebrate our tenth year serving San Diego County. We will also be introducing our new program, Leash-On-Life. Stay tuned for this exciting new program pairing service dogs with children living with autism. Keep your Kleenex near by.
We are grateful for all our supporters and thank you for your generous donations. Your donations allow us to continue to place TLCAD dogs at no cost to the client.
