Read on!!
Gabby Jack Ranch provides puppies for people with disabilities so that they can train their own service dog; you can help!
We need guardian homes, also called breeder caretaker homes, to help us give our breeding dogs loving, forever homes. In exchange for raising our breeding dog and keeping him or her intact for breeding for a period of 5 years, you will be able to keep the dog as your family pet when he or she is retired from breeding! This is NOT a temporary opportunity, the dog will belong to you for life.
Our dogs are not kept in kennels; they live in loving homes where they enjoy being part of human families. In order for us to provide the best possible care for our breeding dogs we need various families who are committed to keeping the dog as a family pet while the dog is part of our breeding program and when the dog is spayed or neutered after 5 years, he or she will be given to the guardian family.
Required:
- Love, patience and compassion for dogs
- Desire to train and socialize a dog or puppy
- Willingness to raise a Gabby Jack Ranch breeding dog (the dog would become your pet when retired from breeding; this is a permanent placement)
- Ability to attend training classes with your guardian dog and the desire and commitment to continue the training at home so that your dog will be a good citizen and a well mannered pet
- Guardian Homes keep breeding dogs for Gabby Jack Ranch, those with female dogs will have and care for puppies in their home, under supervision and support
- Guardians are required to pay for all pet related expenses, including vet care, vet insurance, food, training, grooming, toys, treats, etc. and Gabby Jack Ranch pays for all breeding related expenses
This is an unpaid, volunteer position.

Mission Statement
VISION STATEMENT
To live in a world that understands, assists and encourages people accompanied by well-trained service and therapy dogs in public places.
MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to make Canine Service Connection (Gabby Jack Ranch) programs the most innovative and successful service and therapy programs available. We accomplish this mission by introducing programs that are modern, effective, and affordable for all qualified dogs and human participants.
Description
Our core values include:
- Triad Team placement; consisting of quality dog breeders, skilled trainers and the person with disabilities or therapy dog handlers. At the core of this triad is the carefully selected and matched puppy
- Early matching; using the insight of breeder, trainer and client, we are able to match and place a puppy with their partner; enhancing bonding and communication to build solid foundations for learning
- Early bonding; we believe that puppies are continually learning and watching so that they can communicate with their human families. By placing a puppy within the home or community of the client, early bonding can take place and enhance the communication level of both the human and the canine
- Teaching dog/human communication skills; we believe that dogs are capable of communicating with their humans; our clients are taught to pay attention to the subtle cues and mannerisms of the dog. Dogs are very sensitive to subtle cues from their human partners, even if the cues are non-verbal we help our clients recognize and use communication skills beyond verbal commands
- Home Centered: Our program begins in the home of the client; taking advantage of the natural bond that forms from an environment of love and companionship during the training process
- Care for the Dog: The Gabby Jack Ranch is guided by recent advances in anthrozoology (the study of relationships between humans and animals) and Dog Cognition.
- Innovation: Gabby Jack Ranch offers unique programs: Homefront Dogs for returning US war veterans Advanced Therapy training for trauma therapy dogs (such as court dogs, catastrophictrauma comfort dogs, etc.)
