Jane

Placement

My trainers have been working diligently to make me as successful as possible. Unfortunately, that is not by going down the service dog path. The trainers have made the difficult decision to give me a change of career. Fortunately for me, a close family member of my original breeding foster has chosen to adopt me. We will live our days together carefree, doing just what I was born to do - be his best friend. Thank you to all who helped me get to this point!

Jane's Journey

Stage 1 Introduction

Hi there! My name is Jane.  I am proud to have been selected to enter into the Retrieving Freedom training program.  My parents are “Winnie," who is originally from Kerrybrook Labradors and is now fostered by the Epley family, and "Prince." During this stage of training I will be spending approximately 8 months with my new volunteer foster, a handler at the Iowa Medical and Classification Center (IMCC). 

Throughout Stage 1, I will learn the basics obedience, public behavior, and a lot of socialization. I understand that it takes a very special dog to complete the program as there is a high standard to become a Service Dog. I am aware that I may be one of the dogs whose purpose is outside of service work so I will be updating my profile on a monthly basis for all that would like to follow my journey through the program.
