Our Process

Home Visits
After qualifying through our pre-screen evaluation (located below) VA Dogs’ next step is to schedule a home visit. This is where we come to your residence, meet your family, pets, and friends, and really just get a feel for who you are and what you’re looking for in a dog. Our dogs can assist in many ways and we’d like to give you the best possible match.

PAIRING & TRAINING
After our home visit, we work to find you a dog that has completed our side of training and is ready for a partner! This dog will match your personality, is loveable, and ready for a great home. The approved applicants will require 3-4 weekends (this constitutes a Saturday and Sunday only) at our facility in Kerrville, Texas to gain quality training to get familiar with basic dog training and build rapport with your new service dog.
