About
By Your Side
NO
TRAINING AVAILABLE FOR SERVICE DOGS AT THIS TIME.
By
Your Side, Inc. is a nonprofit, 501 (c) 3 organization that
raises and trains dogs to assist the disabled, epileptic,
and deaf or hearing impaired.
The pups are selected by Angela Bubley and trained for 18
- 24 months before being placed in an approved home.
Each assistance dog learns approximately 80 commands. Opening
doors,alerting to sounds or impending seizures, and picking
up items that have been dropped, are just a few of the many
useful commands we teach the pups.
Recipients must apply, be interviewed, and approved by the
By Your Side, Inc. board of directors in order to be eligible.

GOOD
NEWS!
July
2005
We
applied for, and received a much needed grant for $5,000
from an anonymous donor. We have purchased brand new
ID capes, and new puppies, and a brand new play yard fence
to keep all of the puppies safe. Thank you!
Also
in July, we assisted in raising $3100 for Stefani Lawrence,
one of our recipients in need. Judy Hill of the Tampa
Tribune wrote a lovely article explaining Stefani's needs.
She now has a beautiful, young German Shepherd named Roxie.
Thank you to all the kind folks in Tampa who gave to By
Your Side, in honor of Stefani. We appreciate your
generosity. Stefani is on her way to independence.
During
the Fall of 2005, the local Carrollwood Coldwell Banker
Realtors gave us $500.00. A big thank you to the staff.
We
are still in need of donations for Marla Johnson.
Marla's Seizure Alert Dog, Hattrick,(photo below) passed
away suddenly in June 2005. We are in search of the
perfect dog to assist her, and we may have found her.
In March '06 Angela purchased two Lab/St. Bernard mix pups
to train. Marla's dog will cost a minimum of
$5,000. Any donations, whether monetary, or otherwise
will be greatly appreciated.

Friends, a not for profit organization that raises funds
for young individuals in need of assistance dogs. www.samanthas-friends.org,
They were kind enough to include By Your Side, Amanda Ayers,
and Buzz, her Seizure Alert Dog in their annual charity
benefit.
Amanda
and By Your Side were honored with a $5,000 donation from
the Diva Angels, a women's motorcycle club, to cover the
cost of Buzz and his training and care. Buzz is an
11 month old Shepherd/Husky mix we adopted from the Lost
Angels Animal Rescue. wwwlostangelsanimalrescue.org |
