Dean is 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. Β In February, 2023, Dean took the next step in his journey and entered Advanced Training where he’ll learn the skills needed to support his future partner.

It truly takes a village to raise a puppy, and you can be part of Dean’s village and receive monthly updates about him β€” all donations raised through this page go directly towards our veterinary care fund to ensure healthy, happy puppies. Help support Dean today.
