Human Medical Condition Detection and Working Dog Programs for Hope

Help support Avision Inc Instituting and empowering programs to train and use Labradors as Medical Research Aide Animals as well as supporting the rescue, training, and placement of Labradors for service, Disease Detection, and alert companions.

One of Avision’s Aims is t o help identify breakthrough alternative therapies and early detection methods for the early detection and treatment of degenerative diseases, and to scientifically research and report on the effectiveness of these therapies and detection methods in order to foster more cost effective low-tech healthcare solutions. From cancer to diabetes to high blood pressure trained canines can theoretically detect literally any mal-condition that occurs in humans that exhibits Biochemical release cues.

Why Labrador Retrievers?

Labradors can be particularly “as-one” with their people. Labradors have the extraordinary predisposition to co-operate with their handlers. Avision Inc. has a meticulous breeding program that makes legacy of those traits found to be key in the pursuit of scientific research training as well as for training and placement as service, alert, and assistance companions. Avision Inc. Is Committed to Developing and supporting promising model Programs for canine medical condition detection, early alert, service, and assistance companion Programs for Hope across the nation.

One Goal is to work in conjunction with and parallel several canine aided scientific research projects; using the scientific method. These studies have already been published, our preliminary studies will be proving or disproving their findings. Continued development of training models that can be duplicated by others to broaden impact. Some examples can be found at http://www.bnoses.com/Animal%20Olfaction%20Publications.htm

Avision Inc is also exploring some exciting possibilities with programs developing models for training alert companions for those with diabetes and others afflicted with sudden loss of consciousness. Our further goal is to help provide assistance, service, companion and therapy dogs for those whose lives would be enriched by the extension of senses and the healing gratification that comes from receiving unconditional love and dedication that these dogs bring to every task.

With your Help our organization also helps accommodate and place Labradors from private contributors and other organizations committed to Labrador rescue programs throughout Oklahoma, the US and Canada.

Your contributions help us vigilantly correspond and collaborate resources with all operating Lab Rescues and service dog training facilities whose guidelines are in accordance with standards set forth by Assistance Dogs International, Inc. www.adionline.org and communicate what our screening process involves and Criteria for the dogs needed.

When dogs come through that exhibit the characteristics that we’re looking for, they can then contact us for assistance in training and placement of a service companion with a special person whose life will surely be enriched.

Finding a home and rewarding job for dogs that may not have otherwise had a home and facilitating the union of invaluable companions with folks who need quality of life assistance.
