Our puppies are raised primarily for Service Dog work. Most of our puppies go directly into our training program. Unfortunately, we can not keep them all. The remainder are placed into loving homes that will provide a forever and loving home for them.  All of our puppies go thru the same rearing in preparation to be a service dog, whether they are going to be pets or working dogs.  This includes intense socialization, training and temperament evaluations.  This preparation provides your puppy with a solid base for being the best dog you will ever own.. We test the parents of our puppies hip, elbows, hearts, eyes and genetic testing for PRA1, prod-PRA, and ichthyosis.

The fee for our pets is $5,500.  We will continue to train puppies for those who are seeking a more mature dog that is housebroken with basic manners.  The cost will increase, depending on the amount of training received.     We require $1500 deposit to hold a puppy, $2000 due when puppies are born and the remainder due when you take them home at 2 months.  The proceeds from those sales go directly to the service dog program to help others with a disability live a more independent life.

If you would like to be on our waiting list, please fill out the following adoption form and we will inform you once we have puppies expected.  In the meantime, I recommend you “like” our Facebook page at Golden Opportunities for Independence.  We post there often with updates and other great service dog stories, and training news.  Please feel free to email us at info@gofidog.org if you have any further questions.
