Welcome to The Jasmine Charitable Trust

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.
