I have 2 dogs already and due to money , space and time I really don't want to get a permanent dog, but whenever I get the urge to get another puppy, what I do is raise them from
www.cci.org. It really is a win win situation. I get puppy breath and feet, get the wonderful expereinece of seeing a puppy experience life, and watch it learn

After 14-18 months I turn them back over to the training center, were the pup will hopefully become a service dog and enhance and help someone be more independent.
Everyone says Ohhh I could never do that, give my puppy back. But for me it is about the whole picture. It hurts, but in the end the pride and joy outweigh the hurt by a landslide. So far I have raised 3 pups, and will continue to do so.
