Justice facility dogs are professionally trained dogs working throughout the country in prosecutor’s offices, child advocacy centers, and family courts. These special dogs are graduates of dog training organizations that are accredited by Assistance Dogs International.
As legally neutral companions for witnesses during the investigation and prosecution of crimes, these dogs help the most vulnerable witnesses feel willing and able to describe what happened. The dogs also provide emotional support to participants in family court proceedings and in specialty/treatment courts.
