Success Stories
Teresa Angel and Mig

My name is Teresa Angel. I have struggled with rheumatoid arthritis for the past 29 years. In 2002 I was placed with my first assistance dog named Honor who greatly made my life easier. He was the most humble golden retriever and quickly became my best friend. In 2005, an undetected cancerous tumor took him from my life entirely too soon. He was the joy and a big highlight in my life and that makes me ache as I think of the loss. There remains an empty place in my heart and home.

I have decided I am now again ready for another assistance dog. New Life Mobility Assistance Dogs is again training another dog for me. I know there will never be another Honor, but I look forward to the help and companionship of an assistance dog. A poodle/schnauzer mix has been selected for me. His name is Mig and he is full of personality and charm. He is being trained to pick up dropped items and get the phone for me. He will also be able to bring my money purse up to ma cashier in a store, and carry in groceries from the car to the house. I look forward to a long working partnership with this new dog.

Part of my responsibility in getting my new dog is that I must help fundraise to help pay the training costs. I need your help to accomplish this goal. Please send a donation to help make my life complete again. Thank you.
