Antonio was being raised and trained to provide life-changing independence to someone with a physical disability other than visual impairment or to work with a professional such as a teacher, psychologist or victim services worker to help support a healthy community.
In February 2024, Antonio took the next step in his journey and entered Advanced Training where heβll learn the skills needed to support his future partner.
After careful consideration, Antonio has been released from the Advanced Training Program. He has decided that the pet life is for him, and he will hopefully be settling into a new home shortly. We hope that he enjoys the pet life! Thanks to everyone who had a part in Antonio’s journey. All the best to you, Antonio!
