Adopting a Released Dog

Application to Provide a Permanent Home for a "Released" Dog

SSD very seldom has dogs or puppies available for adoption. We have an 80% placement rate with the puppies that we breed. If we decide that one of our puppies is not suitable because of health or temperament reason to become a service or hearing dog we find a suitable place for this dog. We have three options for that dog.

  1. We can find a new career for that dog. Some of our dogs have become drug dogs for the state prison system. Some become special pets to a child or adult with a disability or special needs.
  2. We can offer the foster family the opportunity adopt the pup they raised.
  3. We can place the dog with a suitable family who will be a good match with this wonderful pup.

Because of careful breeding and serious puppy classes, the adoption fee is $800. The adoption fee to a foster family is less.

If you are interested in adopting one of our released pups, please fill out the following application. It is possible that the waiting time may be four years or longer.
