Numotion Foundation Continues to Support Summit Assistance Dogs

February 25, 2026

Summit is dedicated to transforming the lives of individuals living with mobility disabilities by pairing them with expertly trained service dogs. To date, Summit has facilitated over 130 partnerships, with fifteen individuals currently waiting for their service dog and more applications in progress. In addition, their prison program provides over thirty incarcerated men at Monroe Correctional Complex the opportunity to care for and train young dogs, improving the quality of life for both the participants and the animals.

Guiding Paws, Changing Lives

Serving communities across Washington, Oregon, and the lower mainland of British Columbia, Summit ensures that both clients and dogs receive the support they need to thrive.

Funding from the Numotion Foundation supports Summit’s comprehensive training and puppy-raising programs. This includes providing a balanced diet, necessary veterinary care, training equipment, and enrichment toys for the dogs, giving them the foundation they need to grow, learn, and become fully capable mobility service dogs. The funding also ensures that clients can receive their service dogs without financial burden, removing a barrier to this life-changing support.

Director of Philanthropy, Tristan Boyce explained that “as a nonprofit organization, we do not charge our clients for their service dog. Applicants seeking a service dog through Summit are often experiencing incredibly high medical costs, and the added cost of obtaining a service dog can be financially inaccessible. Funding from the Numotion Foundation allows Summit to continue making these life-changing partnerships without placing an unnecessary financial burden on our clients. This funding also allows us to continue guiding and supporting our clients throughout their entire service dog journey, from initial checkups to continued training and care. Our partnership with the Numotion Foundation is one we are extremely grateful for. Thank you, Numotion Foundation!”

With this support, Summit continues to connect individuals with the independence, confidence, and companionship that a mobility service dog can provide.
