I haven't updated everyone lately so i thought you might like to know what's going on. The puppies are 3 weeks old now and they are doing great! I have to wait until they are 49 days old, (temperament testing), before I find out which one I get. I will be flying out on May 3rd to bring the puppy home. The flight is currently in the planning stages. I have been in regular contact with Clermont County Dog Training Center. They will be training the puppy from Puppy Kindergarten through K9 good citizen certification. Once this is complete, I will be working closely with Wagmor Service Dogs to complete the puppy's task specific training.

I am still trying to raise funds to cover the final $1,500 for Wagmor's training fees as well as transportation funds. The two training facilities are located in Milford, Ohio and Tipp City, Ohio. I have faith that everything will work out but I need to do my part as well. Keep looking for more updates as the days draw closer to bringing the puppy home. Thank you all for your continued support!

I've been involved with both due to my recent jobs. Remarkable animals (and the people who train them) and incredible people.

The animal community is amazing! There has been so much knowledge and support that I have been given. I'm nervous, but excited! I can't wait till May 3rd, when my journey truly begins! 😊

I won't even know which one is mine till the temperament testing is completed at 49 days old. I know how important temperament testing is for service dogs, it's just so hard to wait!
