Tempest 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 July, 2022, Tempest was chosen for her extraordinary health and temperament to join the PADS Breeding Program. 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.
In February 2025, Tempest retired from our breeding program after producing 2 litters of puppies for PADS. She has settled in well to retirement and we hope that she enjoys the pet life! Thanks to everyone who had a part in Tempest’s journey. All the best to you, Tempest!
