Service Dogs in Training - Foster - Forever Home - Co-Ownership

  • Foster: A foster takes a pup under their wing and gives them the best they got. Usually a foster is for a minimum of 6 months.
  • Co-Ownership Females: These pups have plans in motion for breeding! There superior temperaments, health and overall being are a match for our Service Dog Program. For females, we usually do 1-2 litters maximum. Because they are under co-ownership, this keeps the purchase price lower.
  • Co-Ownership Males: These pups also have future plans as well, breeding! The boys stay un-neutered until 6 years of age and then go into retirement. Because they are under co-ownership, this keeps the purchase price lower.
  • Forever Home: These are pups best suited as pets, so family dogs. 
  • Service Dog in-Training: These dogs have received very high level training and are ready to be of service

​Cielo

Cielo is the kind of dog who makes you do a double take—not just because he's handsome, but because he's downright extraordinary. Loyal, attentive, and incredibly caring, Cielo has a nose that doesn’t miss a thing—hide your keys, your snacks, or your heart, and he’ll find them all. With a sky-high drive to work and please, there’s truly no limit to what he can achieve when given the chance.
Currently one of our top studs (and proud papa of some phenomenal service pups), Cielo is available for foster or Co-Ownership. Once neutered, after one more breeding, he could be a remarkable service dog—or, for the right person, an awe-inspiring pet. Just one word of advice: be careful what you teach him... because he will learn it. Cielo’s ready to impress—are you ready to be impressed?

Active, affectionate, and beautifully built, Journey would be a loyal and emotionally attuned companion for a family who can appreciate her depth, energy, and gentle heart. Journey is ready for a new adventure and she would love to meet you.
