The dogs on this page are all looking for their forever homes! It takes just the right dog to be a service dog, and most dogs don't have what it takes. This means that we often have a lot of service dog drop-outs that need homes and make wonderful pets! As much as we can, we try to get our training dogs from rescue situations. The dogs that enter our training program will never end up back in a shelter setting, even if they quickly drop out of service dog training. Below are all dogs that are looking for their forever homes.
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. Applicants for our adoptable dogs are welcome to do a trial run for several days with a dog to make sure it is the right fit for everyone involved.
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
Ember is a 9-month-old female Saint Bernard with an incredibly loving temperament. She has been in our program since she was 8 weeks old and knows all basic commands. Ember is very confident and tuned into people's emotions. She would make an amazing Emotional Support Dog or family pet.
Ember is being released from service dog training because she occasionally vocalizes at other dogs in public. She can be easily redirected with treats, but it isn't realistic to expect someone with a disability need to constantly be scanning the environment for dogs to prevent her from making her little barks and grumbles. She also has an issue going potty in distracting environments such as out in public, which is an issue for a service dog that can sometimes be in work mode all day out and about.
Otherwise Ember is perfect. She loves other animals, kids, playing with dogs, and going places with her people. She is medium low energy but will need someone that takes her on daily walks and continues to maintain her training. She is about 100 pounds currently and is not done growing.
Ember is up to date on vaccines and microchipped. She is on flea, tick and heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is $1,200.
