Please cross reference "Heritage Specialty Dogs" Please review the complaints about that group and be aware that they have started going by the name "Blue Ridge Canine Companions." It is the same people and the same scams.
Also, note that Canine Companions for Independence is NOT associated with this company nor is Blue Ridge Assistance Dogs. It is very possible that the scamsters who are now operating under Blue Ridge Canine Companions hope to benefit from the confusion that their name may cause if people confuse them with those two reputable service dog training groups. Do your homework people if you are going to raise the kind of money it takes to get a service dog--call every reference and check ALL over the internet for any information. Parents of disabled children and disabled people themselves are very desperate for any assistance in making their lives and loved ones lives easier--and there are unscrupulous people out there that have no morals nor conscience and will certainly try to prey on desperation and hopefulness. DO YOUR HOMEWORK so this does not happen to you.
