Our Purpose (Mission Statement)
At KSDS, we believe independence changes everything. We exist to create life-changing partnerships between people and expertly trained assistance dogs – built on trust, skill, and deep connection.
Our People
From puppy raisers to trainers, donors to recipients – every role matters. Our principles describe how we show up: with partnership, integrity, skill, and a belief that independence is built together.
Our Promise
We are working toward a future where the bond between humans and assistance dogs unlocks independence, joy, and full participation in everyday life for all who need it.


We strive to make our website accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. If you encounter any accessibility barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us at ksds@ksds.org or 785-325-2256. We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within 2 business day.
