Local Club Rallies for Boy's Service Dog Dream
8 Jun
Summary
- Community support is aiding a boy with autism in his quest for a service dog.
- A local motorcycle club donated $500 to the fundraising goal.
- The service dog will help manage elopement and overwhelming situations.
The Tassell family is actively fundraising for a service dog to support their 4-year-old son, Carter, who has Level 3 autism spectrum disorder and a global developmental delay. Carter, who was previously nonverbal but is now fluent, struggles with elopement and sensory overload, making everyday activities challenging. His parents discovered the significant positive impact of horses during therapy, leading them to explore service dogs for consistent support.
RB K9 Training is assisting with the fundraising and future training of a service dog, with a GoFundMe campaign targeting $8,000. As of Sunday, the campaign had raised $1,725. The Do-Right Motorcycle Club recently contributed $500 to this cause, embodying their motto to help others. This initiative highlights the community's dedication to improving Carter's quality of life and increasing awareness about autism.
