    Dogs & Pups

    GUGP does not directly place service dogs with individuals. We focus on education and raising puppies that are donated to our partner organizations who handle the final placement. We recommend checking with Assistance Dogs International (ADI) to find a placement program near you.

    Pilaf successfully completed his early socialization and foundation training with us and moved on to his formal training phase with one of our partner organizations. He is doing incredibly well!

    Yes! Our Service Dog Litter Project is an ongoing initiative. We continually raise new litters to document the process and provide qualified candidates to our partner organizations.

    Not every dog is cut out for service work. Patrick became a K9 officer and worked with a sheriff's department. He died in the line of duty, protecting his partner while working.

    Eli graduated from his formal training and was successfully matched with his handler. He is currently working full-time as a certified service dog, making a huge difference in his person's life.
