Our Mission

At Illini Service Dogs, our mission is to provide world class service dogs to individuals who have a physical disability.

We do this by providing University of Illinois students with the unprecedented opportunity to train service dogs & engage with the disability community.

Student members work 1-on-1 with our  service dogs in training and experienced training staff to provide the optimal skill set that the receiving individual needs. During this process, we envision that each student will gain a unique perspective of disability culture & rights while taking part in a positive social experience.

We believe that through community education, advocating for disability rights and providing service dogs 100% free of charge, we are making the world a better place, four paws at a time.
