    Help with the next generation of service dogs as a Canine Caretaker!

    If you're in Northern California, imagine bringing a loving dog into your home, who will contribute to the next generation of service dogs destined to help people with disabilities gain greater independence! By caring for a carefully selected Labrador Retriever or Golden Retriever or cross in our breeding program, you'll play a vital role in helping the next generation of future service dogs to transform lives.

    • A Heartfelt Experience: Surround yourself with unconditional love and contribute to a meaningful mission.
    • An Incredible Community: Collaborate with our dedicated veterinary, breeding and canine care teams, and connect with other passionate volunteers who’ll support you along the way. Receive comprehensive training and support, no matter how long you help out in the journey.
    • Wagging tails & furry love: Once retired, the dog will be spayed or neutered and offered to you as a cherished pet.
