A friend has a trained seizure-alert dog that needs a new home (previous owner unable to care for dog now).
Since there aren't any dedicated service organizations in the US for seizure alert dogs, she is having trouble finding a family for the dog. Any ideas on where to look? The dog is a "working dog" and needs to have the job she was trained for -- life as an ordinary pet isn't working out.

Contact the nearest epilepsy society or hospital.
They will know patients you might love to have a seizure trained dog.
Such a wonderful dog! Would be wasted as a pet only.

Well i think u should give/sell it 2 someone who can take it with them whereever they go because then it would be pretty much the same 2 the dog but not have 2 deal with seizure...

Run a classified add in the paper. If you live in a small town or no town, run the add in a city nearby, it only takes a phone call, and someone would be more than happy to have that valuable dog.

Puts ads out there (paper, SPCA, etc), a working dog with that kind of training would go fast if word spread around.

Contact your local associations for people with disabilities. ARC, various county MH/MR case managers, etc. They may be able to steer you in the right direction.

I am checking with an organization that I know that works with various disabilities that most organizations won't touch. Will let you know if they respond.

you could contact your local hospital and ask them if there is any organization. Or contact a vet
