Help Indy become a service dog

Hi everyone! Folks have been asking so here it goes!

If you know anything about us, you know that Logan has Fragile X Syndrome (for more information, please visit www.fragilex.org). If you were to see this young man, walking down the street, you wouldn’t have any idea what his daily life, our daily life, is like. Logan has limited vocabulary, suffers from social anxiety and social avoidance, and anxiety in general. 

Ever since Logan was little, he was afraid of dogs. For this reason, we, okay I, was hesitant to bring a dog into our family. Logan got along famously with our cats and they have always had a special bond and I just wasn’t sure how he would react to a dog. 

Long story short, through cosmic forces only He knows, a puppy joined our household this summer. We named him “Indy” because Lance and Logan love Indiana Jones and Indy was a word Logan could clearly say. 

Logan and Indy have become best buds. It’s been amazing to watch and even more amazing to see how Indy reacts when Logan is feeling anxious or nervous. 

We aren’t very sure what exactly Logan’s future will look like or how much independence he will have but we do know that if we could Indy to become a service dog for him, that future is a little more promising. We are very hopeful that it will help Logan with his social anxiety most of all and allow him to have a more fulfilling life. 

We have had our assessment and they say Indy will make a great service animal! There are two training processes he, and us, will have to go through but in the end it will be so worth it! 

This is where you come in..as much as I hate having to ask for help, we will need it to pay for this program. The grand total for training is around $3800. Please help us spread the word and make this dream a reality so that Logan and Indy can go on some great adventures. 

Logan has already said “service dog, Indy, tie and Hawaii”… so in Logan speak, that means that when Indy becomes a service dog, he will get a bow tie and get to go to Hawaii…I’m trying bud…momma is trying. 

Thank you for helping us make this dream into a reality!
