Leash of Hope was founded by Danielle Main and Tessa Schmidt in 2014.Tessa and Danielle founded the Leash of Hope organization when it became increasingly obvious that there is still a major need for support for those with disabilities who want to live their lives independently. Danielle, who is legally blind, and Tessa, who lives with spastic cerebral palsy, have experienced the independence and confidence that a service dog can give to them and have done everything they can to change the lives of others who live with disabilities such as blindness, cerebral palsy, autism, PTSD and many other conditions.

As a small organization, Leash of Hope can also meet the demand of clients with more complex needs and who might fall under multiple classifications. Prospective clients can also apply with their own dog. If the dog is deemed appropriate to become a service dog it is provided the tools needed with guidance from the program. The owner assisted training program also fills a much needed gap in the industry.
