Fundraising for PAD Gunner!
We are raising the funds to purchase one particular health guaranteed puppy to raise as our first potential stud dog, who will be the future of service dogs helping the disabled in our community. This 5 week old puppy, PAD Gunner, comes from generations of champion dogs ranging from obedience titles, show titles, and hunting titles. Bred by <Creekside Kennels in North Carolina.
Each of these areas are uniquely important for an assistance dog stud. Champion obedience titles show a desire to learn and obey commands, while champion hunting titles show natural desire to retrieve and have a gentle mouth. Equally importantly, the champion show titles show solid physical stature which is crucial for pulling a wheelchair and mobility work. In addition, this puppy has multiple generations of health tests dogs in his background and comes with a solid “hip contract” meaning they guarantee his hips to be free of Degenerative Joint Disease.
In order to continue meeting the needs of individuals living with a broad range of disabilities, we are working towards starting a small breeding program. This small breeding program will provide our program with puppies of suitable health and temperament in order for us to continue with our mission – to locate, raise and train dogs to provide greater independence to individuals living with a broad range of disabilities as well as to mentor and teach individuals that are training an assistance dog either for themselves or for a loved one. To read more about our program, and what sets us apart from other assistance dog programs please go to our <website.
Our fundraising goal covers:
Puppy cost
Flight for pick up and delivery
Veterinary costs for 2 years
Basic Training Gear
Quality dog food for 2 years
Hip, Elbow and Health Clearances at 2

Special Thanks
Our hearts were greatly touched by a kind act of one of our fans. Last week, Nikki Figular
author of raving blog, Obsessive Chihuahua Disorder contacted some companies that owned some products on our WishList. This little act has (and will continue) to impact our program for many years to come. Tawzer Dog generously donated both of the DVD’s by Emily Larlham! These DVDS will be incredible tools for our volunteers in building their dog training skills!
Nikki had also contacted Zukes, who graciously sent us a package! PAD Biscotti was eager to check out the box, but showed how mature he is getting by sitting next to it to say “Thank you!” to Nikki and Zukes!
Of course we were ecstatic to see that Zukes sent us the exact treats we use for training! And Biscotti was eager to say “thank you” again!
Thank you again to all involved in helping to bless our program, and us continue creating independence in so many lives.
