previous
year's races |
"It was fun to see so many people enjoying
their canine companions and the outdoors. I love to run and I love
my dog, so what more could I ask for than a Dog-N-Jog?"
-- Mary Livengood, KSUCVM Class of 2005
"Fun! Fun! Fun! Men in shorts!
Women in shorts! Instructors in shorts! Great big dogs! Little bitty
Dogs! Herds of Weiner dogs!"
-- Dr.
Patricia Payne, KSUCVM & KSDS puppy foster mother
"I can't think of a better,
healthier way to bond with my dog than to train together for
Dog-N-Jog!"
-- Jennifer Wirth, KSUCVM

 KSDS,
Inc., formerly The Kansas Specialty Dog Service, Inc. (KSDS)
is a non-profit organization dedicated to the training and placement
of canine assistants to individuals with physical disabilities.
KSDS, Inc. provides dogs at no cost to the individuals for one of
two areas of service, guide dogs for the blind or visually
impaired, or service dogs for physically disabled. KSDS, Inc. has
their own breeding program consisting of Golden Retrievers, and
Black and Yellow Labradors, which are specifically selected for the
program based on physical background, disposition, temperament, and
trainability. The puppies are sent to foster families who teach
basic obedience, house and public manners, and socialization. After
12-18 months in the foster family, the puppy is returned to KSDS,
Inc. for an additional 6-9 months of training before being matched
for service. Because KSDS, Inc. provides these service dogs at no
cost to the individuals, any donations and support, as well as those
interested in being foster families, are always welcome.
KSDS tours and programs are
available and are scheduled by appointment.

"Dogs have given us their absolute all. We are the center of their
universe. We are the focus of their love and faith and trust. They
serve us in return for scraps. It is without a doubt the best deal
man has ever made."
-- Roger Caras
