Charting Impact
Five powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
SOURCE: Self-reported by organization
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
How will they know if they are making progress?
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
As an organization we are striving to get as many skilled service dogs into the hands of our many clients. Our current waiting list is 2-4 years. It is a major goal of ours to drastically reduce this in the coming years.
We are looking to bring on at least one more service dog trainer and with the additional support we would be able to get our service dogs in training through the curriculum more efficiently.
We have an amazing network of volunteer puppy raisers and trainers and we are working diligently to be able to meet the present demand for services that exists.
Our major indicators for progress will be the reduction of waiting times for our clients as well as increasing the number of highly trained service dogs placed per year.
As the number of applications have increased, we are still striving tirelessly to meet the demand. To date this year we already have several placements underway and hope to continue this trend throughout the remainder of the year.
