Why a new Facility?

Demand for our dogs continues to grow, and our current facility can no longer meet the needs of the people waiting for these life-changing partnerships. A new purpose-built campus will allow us to train, house, and care for more dogs at every stage of their journey—from puppyhood to placement.

Project Phases

Phase I will include a state-of-the-art training center, spacious kennels, a kennel manager’s residence, a dedicated puppy center, an exercise pool, outdoor training trails, and an administrative hub.

Each area plays a vital role:

Training Center: Offers climate-controlled, flexible spaces that mirror real-world environments, improving training consistency and client experiences.
Kennels & Puppy Center: Provide safe, clean, and enriching environments designed to reduce stress and support healthy development for dogs in all stages of training.
Exercise Pool & Trails: Allow dogs to build strength, confidence, and endurance year-round, even during extreme weather.
Kennel Manager’s House: Ensures round-the-clock care and quick response to any canine needs or emergencies.
Administrative Offices: Bring staff together under one roof for collaboration, volunteer coordination, and efficient client support.

With this new facility, we’ll double our training capacity, reduce wait times, and improve the quality of life for every dog and person we serve.
