Grit & Gem are headed to Patriot Service Dogs in Ocalla, Florida
Grit and Gem are two puppies from our recent Golden Newfie litter that tested very well as service dog candidates. As a small program we are unable to keep all the service dog candidates from each litter, so we are happy to know that they will go on to such an amazing program and one day help Veterans regain their independence!
You can follow along on their training journey by following Patriot Service Dogs on Instagram: @patriotservicedogs
Bitsy IS PREGNANT! - Labrador litter expected end of february 2023
Bitsy is our lovely resident English Labrador service dog in training. She is spunky and very driven to work. She has had PennHip, OFA Elbows, Eyes and Cardiac testing as well as a full genetic panel. She was bred with Toby, a mellow 90lb health tested AKC yellow Labrador on December 26th at Subzero Canine Reproduction in Temecula, CA. Toby is 3/4 English Labrador and 1/4 American Labrador. The pregnancy was confirmed via ultrasound on January 25th.
As with all of our litters, these puppies will be raised with early neuro-stim and puppy culture, and some will be available for adoption.
At 7 weeks old, they will be given the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test by a local trainer to determine which puppies are best suited for service dog work, therapy dog work, or pet homes. Our program will keep 2-3 of the service dog candidates, and the rest of the pups will be available to service and therapy programs, individuals wanting to train their own service or therapy dog, and those just wanting awesome pets.
Louise delivered 9 healthy Golden newfie puppies on November 28th!
It took 22 hours of labor, but all 9 of Louise's puppies have arrived safely. Louise is an AKC Newfoundland and the sire is an AKC Red Golden named Doc. Doc is owned by Pam Berry of 4 Love of Goldens. We bred this combo specifically for larger size and temperament for use as mobility and psychiatric service dogs. These puppies will be raised with early neuro-stim and puppy culture.

CURRENT FUNDRAISERS
Support our Emergency Vet Bills Fund
Help SaraRose fundraise for a Psychiatric & Mobility Assistance Service Dog
Help SaraRose fundraise for a Psychiatric & Mobility Assistance Service Dog
Emergency Vet bills pop up randomly, and this fundraiser allows our program to cover these unexpected costs when they arise.
This funding has helped us cover treatment for things like ingested foreign objects, ringworm, hip and elbow dysplasia, and most recently the treatment of one of our service dogs in training that was in a house fire. Without your support, we couldn't do what we do for our dogs in the most stressful of times.

SaraRose has greatly benefitted from the support of her psychiatric service dog, Paisley. Unfortunately her disability needs have evolved to require tasks that her current service dog cannot perform, and Paisley has needed to retire from service work as well.
SaraRose and her family are on our wait list to be matched with a dog in 2023, but need your help with fundraising to make this happen. You can read more about SaraRose and her story living with chronic illness on her GoFundMe page.

Anya is raising money for a new service dog from us. The service dog in the photo is Maggie. Maggie supported Anya for two years, but was recently retired due to her own health issues. Now she needs to come up with the funds for a new service dog to support with medical alert, mobility, and more. A service dog will help get her independence back! Anya is also one of our volunteers that has raised service dogs for others with disabilities. Now it is time to give back to Anya the way she has for others already.
