[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - we have a organization but are not 100 percent happy. Just looking for other options.

My son also has a metabolic disorder so the dog would alert during low blood sugar. Other tasks are - alerting when he wakes at night (I currently sleep in his room!) deep pressure during overload...distracting during meltdowns and blocking when running in road etc* [/quote]

You are looking for a diabetes alert dog that would also have to be trained to basically be an emotional awareness companion and service animal.  Dogs who can sense low blood sugar are rare and highly valuable.  Then you want the dog to also have the ability to calm your child, alert you to episodes, and you want to risk the dog's life by having it physically block your child when your child runs into the street.  This is not possible, OP.  No organization that trains or finds dogs with rare talents like diabetes alert is going to give you a dog so that you can risk the dog's life in a car wreck.[/quote]
