In order to own a service animal via Gilford’s Golden Guardians, LLC there are three steps:
1. You must provide documentation confirming your diagnosis.
2. You must provide a written script from a healthcare practitioner recommending a service animal with a brief description of the tasks and or alerts that would enhance one’s independence, community access, health and or wellness.
3. A handling assessment by Gilford’s Golden Guardians, to best assess the content of the individual pairing agreement and to determine what leads and tethering options may be needed. Individual pairing agreements are written in collaboration with the handler and trainer and coach.
