Periodically throughout the year we may have a dog that is available for a new career. These dogs may only be available 3-4 times a year. The Assistance Dog Institute prefers to place these dogs with local families. At the time a dog is being released, we will post that information here. We only accept requests for release dog applications when we have a dog available. If you are interested in adopting a release dog, please watch our website for that information.

The process involves filling out an application, having an interview and often a site visit to your home is done. There is a fee for a release dog to cover a portion of our investment in the dog. The dogs are generally 1-2 years old, have been spayed or neutered and are current on all vaccinations.
