Hallelujah!! is Hebrew for "Praise the Lord!" because that's what you say when you are blessed to get a service dog, when you are disabled. Why? Because they literally change your life.. make you whole again! When I lost my leg, I also lost my social life.. all the sudden people were uncomfortable around me, and treated me different... like I was a crippled or something! Even though I am a beautiful woman (as you can see) suddenly I couldn't get a date. People even talked louder and slower to me like I was deaf, or mentally challenged. The dog however didn't feel sorry for me. He still expected me to feed him, walk him, and clean up after him, as if I was a 'regular' person. He cut me no slack, made me get outa bed and stop feeling sorry for myself. After all he said, "you just lost your leg, not your sense of humor" Yes the dog refocuses your attention off yourself... and that may be the very greatest thing they do for us.

the "new" Hallelujah

" Hallelujah Raphael" ( which means praise the Lord for the healing Angel)  Raphael is currently 1 yr old, and in training since he was 8 weeks. He is 75#, and should be as a full size adult about 110#. He is very intelligent, friendly, and willing. He attends most fund raising events, and loves to be petted by people. He will be used mainly to balance a person walking and will wear a special harness with a handle to assist. With the passing of  the original Hallelujah, Raphael now assumes his name and the responsibilities of alpha dog. he is well suited to the task, willing, attentive, devoted and loyal. He is a fine animal.

We have a 20x20 kennel, with a 12x18 kennel  [donated by the Masonic Lodge #76] attached and just added 3 10x10's in 2009 as part of our expansion to train 5 dogs at one time. The need is great!

Eastern Star has been providing dog food, and Albuquerque Animal Humane Society has been providing vet care!

The dogs spend a couple hours a day running free on the 1/2 acre grounds, most of the day and night in the house with Kristi. And train in small 10 minute increments several times per day. The training time is one on one, only so the dog can focus. Each dog in training is taken out in public several times a week. They go to the pet stores, grocery, stores, the parks, hardware stores, different churches,  and sometimes just for a ride. This is important training time. The dog learns "load"= get into car "wait"= don't exit until told "lets go"= exit They practice pulling the wheelchair, not sniffing or licking people. I do allow everyone to pet them. They practice sitting when I stop and laying down when I am in one place for very long. Ignoring me if I am eating or drinking. I always place the dog away from people so we don't get his tail stepped on. We want to avoid any negative experience for the dog. Going out in public is part of his job, so we must maintain disciple with him, so he is always a welcome visitor (no licking, sniffing, barking, and of course potty him before he goes inside) If your dog misbehaves the store personnel have the right to ask you to leave..
