Jewel wasΒ 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.Β In March, 2020, Jewel was chosen for her extraordinary health and temperament to join the PADS Breeding Program.Β She will remain here in the PADS community to have her puppies, some of which may be shared with other assistance dog schools around the world.
Jewel has now retired from her breeder caretaker due to her age and has settled in nicely to her forever home as a pampered pet. Thank you to everyone who played a part in Jewel’s journey! All the best to you, Jewel!
