Rocco was  a stray we rescued, rehabilitated, and trained in 2010 to be a service dog for a local paraplegic woman, Sherry Govella who is wheel chair bound, for  her companion. 

N.A.B.S. was publicly recognized as the first non-profit in Brazoria County History to rescue, rehabilitate, train, then donate a $25K Service Dog to a Brazoria County resident.

Service Dogs Rules of Etiquette:


When a parent teaches their child to respect a service dog, the disabled person appreciates it because the dog isn't torn between the child and their job at hand.  It is okay to ask if you may pet the dog.


· It is not polite to call to the dog or try to get it excited. 

· It is not polite to talk baby talk to a service dog.  It is a working dog.

· It is not polite to try to touch or pet a service dog without consent from the owner.

· It is not polite to do anything to bring the dog’s attention to you or away from its job.

The dog has a job to do and any of those things are a distraction to the dog whose attention should be focused on its partner. Please help educate others so they are not guilty of breaking the rules. It's okay to tell the dog’s partner how beautiful their dog is, or ask questions to the human about the dog, but the best thing is to smile and politely pretend to not see the dog, as far as the dog is concerned. Yes, it is hard to do, but you will be
doing the right thing.
