My Service Dog, Inc. was formed to fulfill a need for Service Dogs in and around the Houston, TX area.

In 2004 I decided to succumb to my calling and searched for a company or foundation that trained Service, and/or Hearing Dogs in the Houston area. I wanted to apply as a trainer but to my surprise, I could not find an organization within 190 miles from my home. I soon realized that I would have to actually take on the formation of a nonprofit organization myself. Oh Joy!

I was forced to sell my home and land in the country. I sold it to my son's best friend and his wife. They had a female Labrador Retriever named Bell. My son had a male Labrador named Buddie. Bell and Buddie got together and produced puppies. They were born on my old homeland so that made them special from the start.

I traveled from where I had moved to in Conroe (135 miles round trip) twice to test one of the puppies. She was the runt of the litter and she - I later found out - had died after birth and was resurrected. She looked like a runt of a dog, but she had knowledge and love in her eyes.

February 2004 while loading several moving trucks full of my furniture and belongings from Hempstead to Conroe, my son and his friend dumped Molly into my arms. She was filthy, stinky, hungry, thirsty, and tired, but so was I. I held her at arms length and deemed her the first Service Dog in training right then and there; I named her Molly.

Molly was a fast study and by 4-months old we were working in public and training to give presentations to the public. The first place Molly was taken was the Montgomery County Library in Conroe, TX. To this day I train all of my Service Dogs at that Library. The people that work there have watched Molly, Ranger, Wryley, and Nate grow and learn. The entire staff is always glad to see them come in. They are very nice people and have helped in the training along the way. We really appreciate them!
