About
Tallman Family Foundation

The Embark Foundation service dog brand icon

Our values

We founded the Tallman Family Foundation (formerly the Embark Foundation) after seeing a growing need for assistance dogs in our communities. Our mission is to empower individuals in need by providing them with expertly trained SERVICE DOGS. Every wag, playdate, and training session directly supports this mission by funding the raising, training, and placement of these incredible animals with individuals in need.

PASSION

Our work is fueled by a deep love for what we do and a drive to make a lasting, positive impact in our community and beyond.

CONNECTION

We facilitate transformative connections — raising, training and matching dogs with their furever partners.

QUALITY

We prioritize compassionate care and training so our dogs can make a profound difference in the lives they touch.

Meet some of our Pups

Many of these pups have been matched with his/her forever person.  But, we have more pups being trained all the time

Lend a paw

A nonprofit is as strong as the community that holds it up! Through your generous donations, we can continue to empower individuals with disabilities and emotional support needs, free of charge.
