We work as a pack

- This is an application form only, there is no guarantee of acceptance.
- PTSD Dogs Australia reserves the right to refuse an application at any stage in the process, even after training has commenced.
- The organisation and recipients are governed by the Animal Care and Protection Act 2001 as well as PTSD Dogs Australia Animal Welfare Statement.
