Find Your Perfect Companion
Not every dog can become a service dog. Service dogs need specific skills, and if a dog isn’t suited for that role, we don’t push them into it.
When a dog isn’t fit for service work, we place them up for adoption. These dogs cannot be service dogs, but they make wonderful pets. They are friendly, trainable, and eager to please. The training they receive with us varies based on how long they stayed with us before we assessed that they would be happier as pets.
Some of the main reasons that we decide to release a dog from our service dog training program, include things like nervousness in public, prey drive, or hip dysplasia. If you’re looking for a loyal companion, consider adopting one of our dogs and giving them the second chance they deserve.
If you’re seeking a loyal and affectionate pet, consider adopting one of our remarkable dogs. By providing a loving home, you’ll give them the second chance they deserve.
