How long is the wait for an ICAN service dog?
It is not possible to make precise predictions regarding how long the wait will be for a service dog. We can tell you the following: • ICAN’s priority for placements is with children and adolescents. We do accept adult applications but adults need to know that children and adolescents are the first priority. • We do take into account the order we receive applications; however, we also strive to make the best possible match between the assistant dog and the recipient. This match-up takes into consideration the physical structure and temperament of the dog as well as the lifestyle and personality of the recipient. Thus, we may not always keep to strict first come-first serve policy. • We hope that your wait will be less than a year and a half. Please remember that this is only an estimate and may change. You are welcome to contact us for an update.
