Steller was 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 Β Β
In September, 2024, Steller was chosen for his extraordinary health and temperament to join the PADS Breeding Program.Β He will remain here in the PADS community but some of his puppies may be shared with other assistance dog schools around the world.β―Β Β
