What happens to the pups we release from our program?

We adopt them to great homes where someone with disabilities lives. The dog becomes an ESA (emotional support dog) for that person, as well as a much loved pet. 

 

Our released dog help someone living a challenging life; someone who the dog clearly likes at their initial meeting, and will give the dog a great home.  

Our release dogs are emotional support dogs, not  service dogs.  They  will NOT have public access rights.

 The adoption fee for one of our release dogs is $900 and up, depending on the dog.
