We are more than just a breeding program! Our purpose is twofold. We have a vision and dream to bring animal therapy to those who need it most and when it counts. We have seen first hand over and over and over again the power that having an animal can make on a person or childs life. Every one of our pups have a purpose. We love deeply the doodle breed and have seen their benefit of becoming household companions, emotional supporters; along with therapy and service dogs! But, we also started our doodle breeding program to help initiate and fund our “therapy animal farm” for children in foster care, and to be used along with trauma, play and connection therapy. When a child gets to interact with an animal and have a “job to do”, they feel needed, connected and loved. All of their senses are awakened. Connections are made and healing of all kinds are possible. And not just any farm animals…but animals that are given a second chance. Some that will have medical needs, but mainly those that a working farm wouldn’t have use for and are needing to find a home…but where they can be loved and cared for. That purpose is also twofold.
We are still in the “vision” stage of this farm. We began our high standard breeding program as a way to fund this vision. Watching our doodles have the therapeutic impact they have had already has been incredibly rewarding and we look forward to seeing what is fully possible as we move forward!
