🐾 Service Dog Awareness Month 🐾
Service dogs provide much more than companionship—they are highly trained partners who help individuals live more safely, independently, and confidently.
Depending on a person’s needs, a service dog may assist with:
✔ Mobility and balance support
✔ Retrieving dropped items
✔ Opening doors
✔ Alerting to medical conditions
✔ Assisting with daily activities
✔ Providing support during community participation
At Unbound OT, we understand that independence looks different for everyone. Service animals can be an important part of a person’s support system, helping them participate in meaningful activities at home, work, school, and in the community.
This Service Dog Awareness Month, let’s celebrate these incredible working animals and the individuals whose lives they help empower every day.
🐕 Independence comes in many forms—and sometimes it has four paws.
