  Domesti-PUPS

Guardian Homes

Picture
While Domesti-PUPS continues to utilize rescue dogs for our service dog program, we have also found great success with dogs that we have acquired through our breeding program. To ensure all of our breeding dogs live a pampered life with their very own forever home, we have developed a Guardian Home program.

The Guardian Home program allows the dog to live in your home, as your own dog, however, Domesti-PUPS retains ownership and breeding rights to the dog. There is not a cost for placement of the dog, however, ongoing costs include: food, grooming, monthly preventatives, toys, etc. Domesti-PUPS covers typical veterinary costs such as annual vaccinations and any breeding related veterinary costs.

The dog will live with you in your home as your own pet, however, will need to be returned to Domesti-PUPS upon request for breeding purposes (usually about a week), and for females during whelping/puppy rearing (approx. 7 weeks).

The dogs in these programs have been temperament tested and health checked as that is paramount in developing stellar candidates for our service dog program.

Guardian Home candidates should live within 100 miles of Lincoln, NE (some exceptions may apply), be willing to maintain any training the dog may currently have, and/or attend obedience classes to ensure the dog is well behaved when returned for breeding purposes. Crate training should also be maintained while in your care. All dogs placed in Guardian Homes must be indoor dogs and never be left outside unattended. A home with a fenced yard is preferred. Guardian Home families must have reliable transportation, and a willingness to bring the dog to us when needed throughout the year. Guardian Homes for females may have additional diet maintenance guidelines during pregnancies.

Once the dog is no longer used in our breeding program, the dog will be spayed or neutered (at your expense), and full ownership and all responsibilities will transfer to you.
