Ben Lay’s pit bull, Rahja, is now a service dog in training, thanks to Rick Kaplan of Canine Angels, who volunteered to help train Lay’s formerly uncontrollable pet.
These organizations always need volunteers to help foster dogs, raise funds and spread the word in South Carolina about their programs and services. They also accept applications from individuals with disabilities who need service dogs. Contact them for more specifics.
