Available Dogs
Our dogs have been given a great foundation in terms of training and socialization, making them well-suited for adoption into loving homes. These dogs would make excellent house pets, given their affectionate nature and the training they've received.
If you're considering adopting one of these dogs or just want to know more about their qualities and how to care for them, here's a quick recap of what you might expect from a dog like this....
Being a service dog is a big responsibility, and not all dogs are suited for the job. Sometimes, the reason is health-related—issues like cataracts, joint problems, or allergies can make it difficult for a dog to stay at their best. Other times, it's behavior-related. Dogs with too much energy, an overly friendly nature towards strangers, rowdiness like getting dirty, or difficulty walking on a leash might not meet the high standards needed for service dog training.
​
The good news is, just because a dog doesn’t qualify as a service dog doesn’t mean they won’t make a wonderful pet. While service dogs have the serious task of assisting their handlers with important duties, from guiding them through crowds to detecting dangerous substances, pets have a much simpler role: to provide love and companionship. Even if a dog has excess energy or health quirks, those traits don’t take away from their ability to form deep, loving bonds with people.
​
That said, many of these dogs still enjoy "working" in some way after being adopted. They may thrive with activities that engage their minds or bodies, so it's worth taking some time to learn what your potential new companion enjoys. Understanding their interests will help you create a fulfilling life together, where they can be the happy, loving pet they were always meant to be.

What Tater Needs:
Tater is a fun-loving and affectionate dog who will thrive in an environment where she’s part of the family and can get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime. She’ll do best with a family or individual who has the time to continue her training and who enjoys spending time with a medium-energy dog. Tater’s sweet, silly personality means she’s a perfect match for someone who can keep up with her playful nature and appreciate all the love she has to offer.
​
Tater’s Ideal Home:
- A family with kids or an active individual who can match her energy and love for play and affection.
- A home with a yard or access to outdoor spaces where she can play and burn off some of her energy.
- Another dog to play with would be a bonus, but she’ll thrive as an only pet, too, especially if she’s the center of attention!
- Someone who loves to train and bond with their dog through play and positive reinforcement.
