Program accomplishments
- During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, Dogs for Diabetics, Inc (D4D) acquired, trained,and placed medical alert service dogs with insulin-dependent diabetic youth and adults. These assistance dogs are trained to identify the scent of the changing body chemistry of the client and alert them of the onset of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), prior to becoming symptomatic, thereby assisting and safeguarding the diabetic with their insulin therapy. Additionally, D4D continued to study the impact of the dogs on its clients, to enhance the quality of its processes and outcomes.Expenses $427,777 · revenue $5,694
