Our mission is to transform the lives of dogs in shelters by rescuing and rehabilitating them for a very meaningful purpose as service dogs; in turn, these dogs help transform the lives of the lives of children with disabilities, veterans with PTSD, and victims of violence and abuse.
 
The average cost to rescue, evaluate, rehabilitate, train, transport, feed, and place a Merlin’s KIDS service dog specifically taught to manage the needs of each individual candidate is between $10,000 - $25,000. We rely solely on charitable donations to achieve this goal, and with your help, we can help save two lives at a time.
