Saint Francis Service Dogs Fall 2023 Newsletter

These graduates are the reason for everything we do. They are why our beautiful dogs are cherished, lovingly raised, and taught for over two years by people who will ultimately say goodbye to them. They are why our volunteers work tirelessly. They are why our donors give generously.

These five new placements in our Saint Francis Family - the Class of 2023 - exist because of you.

To our puppy raisers, trainers, volunteers, and supporters - thank you from the bottom of our hearts. OF 2023!

BECAUSE OF YOU!

ZuZu into the Saint Francis Breeding Program

Beatrice into the Saint Francis Breeding Program “She was very special from the get-go. To see her having the opportunity to pass those traits along to the next generation of service dogs is so rewarding.“ -Tonya, Beatrice’s whelper

Brandon Oaks and Hank

“It is really nice to see the joy on their faces when we knock on the door and say that Hank is here. Especially for the ones that maybe don’t get out very often or have many visitors.” -Mallory Maycock, Hank’s handler

“She is a very special animal. I am very proud of her. And I am very proud of Saint Francis that saw the potential in her. “ -Thais, ZuZu’s Puppy Raiser
