Ocassionally, we may have a dog that is eligible to be 're-purposed' or 'recyled' into a new career. This usually occurs when there is a characteristic in an otherwise well behaved, incredible canine that makes him/her unsuitable for a life as an asssistance dog: health issues (hip dysplasia, allergies, etc), temperament (displaying fear, resource guarding, high prey drive) or simply lacking the desire to perform the tasks asked of it. These dogs are generally 1-2 years old, have been spayed or neutered and are current on all vaccinations. They are still amazing dogs with sweet, unique personalities, have received in-depth training and a high degree of socialization. They will be fabulous pets for homes that are looking for a canine companion and we seek to place these dogs with local families. At the time a dog is available, we will post that information here.
