A Personal Mission

Critters4Service was founded by Frank Mallatt, who has autism himself and understands firsthand the impact a well-trained dog can have on daily life.

"I founded this organization because I know what it means to find connection and calm through animals. Every session I lead carries that personal understanding."

Frank has been featured in Ability Magazine and multiple regional publications for his work providing service dogs at little to no cost to qualifying individuals.
