| Dog Adoption & Alternative Careers | Public Adoption
Thank you for your interest in our program!
We are currently accepting applications ONLY for Labrador Retriever and German Shepherd puppies between 8 to 12 weeks old.
Please Note: Due to exceptionally long wait times and an overabundance of applicants, we are NOT accepting applications for any other category of released dog at this time. This includes young adult dogs, mature adults, and retired guide dogs.
We highly encourage you to check this page periodically for updates, as our application status and availability can change at any time.
When our 8 to 12 week old puppies do become available, please keep in mind that the overall timeline for placement can vary significantly based on your specific preferences.
The general waiting period for puppies currently ranges from 2 to 10 months.
Requesting a specific color, gender, or breed (e.g., exclusively a female German Shepherd) will directly impact your wait time.
Thank you for your patience and your support of our program!
