How can I get a service dog? - oregonlive.com

There is a shortage of program dogs. Because of this, applicants for these dogs often must wait for a year or more before there is a service dog available for them. Obtaining a program dog can also be costly - many of these dogs start at $20,000, and it isn't unheard of for service dogs to cost $30,000 or more. Programs often require that would-be service dog handlers raise most - if not all - of this money through their own efforts. Some programs, such as Canine Companions for Independence, provide assistance dogs free of charge, but they cannot provide these dogs to everyone that needs one.

If you have to raise the money, you can do a Go Fund Me or something like that. I bet people would donate to your Fund page for a service dog.
