Captain is being raised and trained to provide life-changing independence to someone with a physical disability other than blindness or to work with a professional such as a teacher, psychologist or victim services worker to help support a healthy community.

In May, 2023, Captain was chosen for his extraordinary health and temperament to join the PADS Breeding Program on a temporary basis and sired three litters for PADS and other ADI schools. In November, 2023, Captain took the next step in his journey and entered Advanced Training where heโ€™ll learn the skills needed to support his/her future partner.

It truly takes a village to raise a puppy, and you can be part of Captainโ€™s village and receive monthly updates about him โ€” donations raised through this page support the care and training of healthy, happy puppies. Help support Captain today.
