TADSAW Mission

The TADSAW, INC. mission is to provide for the training of a Medical Alert Service Dog, as designated by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990/2010 guidelines, for any wounded Veteran Service Member (Active Duty. Retired, Discharged) surviving with Military Induced Anxiety Depression Syndrome (MIADS), post traumatic stress disorder (ptsd), Military Sexual Trauma (MST) and/or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), in order to restore and improve the Veteran’s Quality of Life with a canine ‘Battle Buddy’, at NO CHARGE to the Veteran or the family. The ‘Elevator Speech” or short version of the TADSAW Mission Statement is to provide for the training of a Medical Alert Service Dog to improve a person’s Quality of Life and PREVENT SUICIDE!

Congratulations Ryan & ANGUS
TSD1600/TSC0068

He is not a Veteran! Nor a First Responder! Nor a Military Dependent! He is a TADSAC client and he worked thru his medical condition with his Battle Buddy to successfully complete the TADSAW program and pass the TADSAW Public Access Temperament Test. Disability does not mean ‘INABILITY”!
