Training Rescued Pit Bulls as Service Dogs for those with Disabilities

In Conversation with Animal Farm Foundation
AFF (Animal Farm Foundation) rescues shelter dog "pit bulls" and trains them as service dog.

When Fiona Gilbert, biohacker and movement therapist, was diagnosed with a debilitating degenerative neurological disorder, she looked for ways to adapt to the realities of the condition. One involved finding a service dog trained for bracing work—not an easy thing. But, thanks to Animal Farm Foundation (AFF), she’s now assisted by a Pit Bull named Koda. AFF, a nonprofit organization based in New York’s Hudson Valley, is dedicated to securing equal treatment and opportunity for Pit Bull dogs and their owners. They offer a remarkable range of services, not the least of which is giving marginalized dogs a chance at the love they deserve.
