The Jasmine Charitable Trust is a non-profit organization that trains and provides Service Dogs for Disabled Americans. It is named for Champion Blacktie & All That Jazz (Jasmine), the first AKC Conformation Champion Standard Poodle to become a Certified Service Dog.

The Jasmine Charitable Trust is dedicated to providing lifelong support to its Service Teams. Standard Poodles are used almost exclusively since there is an extremely low incidence of allergic sensitivity to them. They are also quicker to train and serve more as an equitable team member for a longer period of time due to their longevity.

Dogs are not our whole life; but, they make our lives whole. - Roger Caras

 
About the Jasmine Charitable Trust PDF

The Jasmine Charitable Trust was formed as a non-profit organization (501c3) in 2001 to empower disabled adults to independence through the use of Service Dogs. We provide only Standard Poodles for this purpose. Whether the service performed is Mobility Assistance, Medical or Seizure Alert, Vision, Hearing or Psychiatric Support, the Standard Poodle is uniquely qualified for the task. Their intelligence and inherent affinity for human companionship has been documented by researchers and breed experts for decades. Because of this quality, they quickly learn the needed behaviors to supplement their human Partner's efforts. They are loyal friends who do not see a disability, only a place where they may contribute their skills as a fully functioning team member. They live and love to serve. Being hypoallergenic makes them the perfect Service Dog for people with COPD, emphysema, asthma or allergies.

Service Dog Info PDF

The Federal Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) views a Service Dog as an Assistive Device, much like a cane, crutches, or a wheelchair. The ADA says A Service Dog can go anywhere its Service Partner goes. Service Dogs regularly go to restaurants, supermarkets, theaters, hospitals, churches, sports events, and formal affairs. While in Training, a Service Dog may accompany its Partner to provide support and empower independence in accomplishing one or more major activities of daily living (ADLs).
