The dogs on this page are all looking for their forever homes! Some of these dogs are able to be trained as service dogs, and others have been deemed unfit for service work due to health or temperament. We will be very clear here on any concerns that we have about dogs deemed unfit for service work.
If interested, please contact us. All rehoming fees go back toward rescuing and training other dogs. Rehoming fees vary based on the amount of training and expenses we have put into the dog up to this point.
IF THERE ARE NO ADOPTABLE DOGS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE, OR NONE THAT FIT YOUR NEEDS, YOU MAY STILL FILL OUT OUR APPLICATION. THIS WILL PUT YOU AT THE TOP OF OUR CALL LIST IF WE GET A DOG THAT SEEMS TO BE A MATCH FOR YOU.
For Service Dog Drop-Outs fill out the Career Change Dog Application. For puppies from our breeding program fill out the Puppy Adoption Application. Email the filled out application to theservicedogconnectionprogram@gmail.com
Jellybean has been in our program learning public access skills and evaluated to see if he has what it takes for service work. Jellybean has been doing amazing and learning so quickly. He is sweet, snuggly, food motivated, and good with kids, other dogs, cats, and even pigs. Jellybean bonds very strongly to his handler, so please understand that there is always a transition period as any dog adjusts to a new handler. He would be a great psychiatric or medical service dog for a handler that focuses on positive reinforcement and is not going to give him a lot of corrections. He is definitely emotionally sensitive to corrections from his handler, but he is not environmentally sensitive to chaos or loud noises.
Jellybean has a solid start on service dog public access training, but will need continued consistency and reinforcement of these skills since he is still so young. Our plan with these started service dog placements is to give people a more affordable option for acquiring a service dog but getting them past the early phases of training for people who's disabilities make it challenging to raise their own service dog from a total puppy.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF JELLYBEAN: Jellybean's vet records, 3 days of handler training in Central Oregon (2-3 hours each day of training) done at the time of pick-up, and 10 follow-up hourly training sessions that can be done in-person in Central Oregon or virtually. These 10 sessions can be used at any time and are meant to give long-term service dog training support to the new handler.
Jellybean's adoption fee (with placement training and sessions included) is $8,500. He will be ready for placement in late May/early June. If interested in Jellybean, please fill out our Puppy Adoption Application.
