Maritime Specialty Service Dogs Society (MSSDS) is a registered non-profit organization based in Truro, NS; established with the goal of training service dogs and giving their recipients a new lease on life and independence that they might not have had before being paired with their service dog.

Our dogs come from shelters or are donated by breeders; we give them a purpose in life and an important job to do!  We train service dogs for people with, but not limited to: psychiatric and post-traumatic stress disorder, autism-spectrum disorder, mobility assistance, diabetic, obsessive compulsive disorder and seizure alert.

Please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page to get your questions about service dogs, expectations and the process answered.

With your help, together we can make a difference.
