My, how they grow! Bud, Dash, Otto, and Chip are getting bigger every day and learning more and more. At this stage they are solidifying the basics of good manners - like socialization, redirection, and holding commands. We are so proud of the progress they are making and look forward to what the future holds for them!

Check back on our page for their intro pics back in February to compare how much they have grown in the past few months!

Today we remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice serving their country.

At New Life K9s we seek to carry their memory forward by providing service dogs at no cost to veterans living with PTSD.

This week, we joined the Santa Maria Elks Lodge Veterans Stand Down to share about New Life K9s and other programs. Former CMC Trainer, Solomon, shared about the program and Guadalupe Police Chief, Michael Cash, brought his New Life K9s service dog, Little Debbie, to meet attendees. Thank you to everyone who attended!

By sponsoring a future service dog, you save lives. Sponsors help provide dogs at NO COST to veterans and first responders in need. Your sponsorship helps fund 2+ years of training and care for our dogs to prepare them for their important work.

Plus, you get to help name the next service dog in training! We'll keep you updated on their training progress and placement as well.
