Empowering Lives Through Purpose-Built Service Dog Training & Community-Based Healing
Based in Austin, Texas, the Phoenix Ranch Foundation headquarters is pioneering a high-impact, scalable model that pairs expertly trained service dogs with individuals facing emotional and physical challenges—including trauma, mobility impairments, and neurological conditions. This program marks the beginning of our broader therapeutic initiatives and serves as the foundation for the full-scale ranch-based programs we are actively developing.
This multifaceted initiative is designed not only to meet an urgent and growing need, but to deliver transformational
outcomes through a replicable framework blending animal-assisted support, agricultural therapy, and community engagement.

Why Phoenix Ranch?
Service Dogs That Change Lives
Service dogs significantly reduce symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression while restoring independence, mobility, and purpose. Yet demand far exceeds supply, with many individuals facing long waitlists and costs surpassing $100,000 per placement.
Phoenix Ranch eliminates those barriers by training and placing service dogs at no cost to eligible participants through a mission-driven, philanthropic model.
Spaces are limited, so secure your spot today and be a part of something special. We look forward to growing with you!
A Scalable Healing Ecosystem
Phoenix Ranch is more than a training facility—it’s an integrated, trauma-informed community designed to create lasting impact. The ranch will feature:
- State-of-the-art service dog training facilities
- Educational workshops on wellness, trauma recovery, and human-animal partnerships
- Therapeutic animal-assisted programming
- Historic site preservation and nonprofit event hosting
- On-site accommodations for expert trainers and staff
This holistic environment is built to support not only individuals in need of healing, but also the broader community—through education, connection, and purpose-driven engagement.
