Today is the first of  December and just a few days ago we received  Noble's first report card from Medford Long Island New York.
Yes, our service Dogs in training receive report cards to let us know as puppy raisers how our dogs that we have turned in are doing.
 So far Noble is doing fine, and his next report will follow during the last Wednesday of December.

How do we give them up is by far the #1 question, but until you actually meet and talk with someone that has been waiting for up to 2 years for a Service Dog that will GREATLY aid with their independence, it's hard to put into words.

So now I refer them to videos u-tube , here by typing in Help is a four legged word so you can see for yourself  the difference that not only the Service Dog can make in persons life, but how important the roll of a volunteer puppy raisers plays in TRUELY changing a persons life for the better.

We as puppy raisers have a goal .
To have a sit down diner and actually meet that SPECIAL person that we will be turning over that Yellow and Blue leash to.

We Pass on photo's of our puppies adventures along the way.
We may exchange e-mails and gifts, and  Sometimes may even shed a few tears as well.

I look at having raised Noble as an HONOR to possibly help out someone that needs a helping Paw and a dedicated friend that will offer unconditional loyalty , Friendship and LOVE.

Do I Love what I do....you bet
