and Soda Pop By working together, our organizations can train and place more assistance dogs with those who need them. We can’t wait to watch these puppies learn and grow into service dogs-in-training.

We work with a number of other programs and nonprofits to provide physically healthy, temperamentally steady puppies to train for service work. As part of the Assistance Dogs International Breeding Coopera- tive, Taco, Oliver, Gertti and Marcia arrived earlier this year all the way from Southeastern Guide Dogs in Florida. Cobe and Soda Pop came to us from Project2Heal in North Carolina.

Saint Francis Service Dogs is a member of the ADI Breeding Cooperative — a partnership with other accredited assistance dog programs, in which puppies are bred specifically for service dog work. This collaborative ADI membership program collectively improves member access to acceptional puppies by combining resources to realize the benefits of a large, expertly managed, assistance dog breeding program.
