of people since its inception on August 1st, 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"my-work-story\">My Work Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a working I.T. professional, I always gave back to my community by volunteering at various organizations including the Special Olympics, Working Wardrobes, and Habitat for Humanity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2005 I rescued my first puppy, Linus from the Carson Animal Shelter starting my journey as a new puppy owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortly after rescuing Linus, I decided to merge my love for dogs with my enthusiasm for giving back to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a local Pet Expo, I inquired about the various volunteer opportunities with rescue organizations, therapy dog schools, and guide dog schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I was intrigued by the idea of raising a guide dog puppy I decided a 2-year commitment might be more than I could handle. So, I decided a short-term assignment like fostering dogs and puppies would be a better test of my dedication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I ended up fostering 11 dogs for local rescue including a litter of German Shepherd mix and Chihuahua mix puppies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After my adventures fostering rescue and shelter dogs, I decided I was ready to commit to raising a guide dog and in February 2007 I brought home my first guide dog puppy, Stetson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This started my journey to learn all I could about training dogs, specifically service dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since February 2007 I&#8217;ve raised and trained 16 guide and service dog puppies in training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2016 I raised my first litter of <a href=\"https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/english-cream-golden-retriever\/\">English Cream Golden Retriever<\/a> puppies and donated three pups to service dog schools. Since then I raised litters in 2017, 2019, and 2020 and donated puppies from each litter to service dog schools in California and Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve worked with several service and guide dog schools over the years including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.guidedogsofamerica.org\">Guide Dogs of America<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/caninesupportteams.org\">Canine Support Teams<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tenderlovingcanines.org\">Tender Loving Canine Assistance Dogs<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/cascadeservicedogs.org\">Cascade Service Dogs<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brigadoondogs.org\">Brigadoon Service Dogs<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As a lifelong learner, I continue to attend classes, seminars, and conferences about training dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"recognition-awards\">Recognition &amp; Awards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few of my accomplishments over the years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>B.S.
