How long is the wait for a Service Dog from WAGS?
The demand for Service Dogs far exceeds the current supply. Nationally, the average wait time for a Service Dog is approximately three to five years. WAGS is constantly evaluating and improving upon our program in an attempt to shorten the waiting time. Because we use social style matching between a person and a dog to identify an optimum pairing of a Service Dog team, it is difficult to determine the exact waiting time. On average it takes six months to two years to find a suitable match.
