Meet our program dogs.
Stride with purpose, one paw at a time.
Meet Elliott
Labrador Retriever, born on May 29th, 2024
Elliott is the pioneer of Paws With Purpose Dog Training’s fully trained service dog program. After passing temperament testing at 8 weeks old, Elliott was hand picked to start socializing as a future service dog. Since then, he’s undergone extensive training, health testing, and refinement to become the dog he is today.
At the beginning of 2025, Elliott’s applications were opened and we’re proud to say we have matched him with his forever handler. He’s finishing out his public access and task work, then will be going home later this year to his person.
Elliott is your typical, happy-go-lucky Labrador. I don’t think he’s had a bad day in his life! He is going to thrive as a multipurpose service dog for his handler, and he’s particularly fond of any sort of psychiatric work. All he wants to do is make sure you’re the happiest you can be!
Meet Phoebe
Labrador Retriever, born on April 18th, 2025
Phoebe is a star pupil, filling big shoes after Elliott. She’s gone through the same temperament testing, socialization, and health testing that puppies in the Paws With Purpose Dog Training service dog program are exposed to.
As of February 2026, Phoebe has been matched with her handler and will be placed as a multipurpose service dog!
Phoebe, like most Labradors, is a fiend for water and loves a good frolic - from creeks to puddles, she does it all. She has a fantastic off-switch, often enjoying time cuddling on the couch or in bed. Phoebe is incredibly in-tune to whoever is handling her and eager to please, making her a great fit for the type of work her future handler needs!
Meet Ramona
Labrador Retriever, born on October 20th, 2025
Ramona is a special girl, coming into the program recently with high hopes of becoming a future service dog.
As of August, 2026, Ramona has been matched with her future handler. Once she completes training, Ramona will be placed as a multipurpose service dog!
Ramona, like Phoebe, loves to splash in the water and go on various hikes. Her favorite activity is picking up items and carrying them in her mouth. She enjoys it more when you cheer her on!
Meet Josephine
Labrador Retriever, born on June 2nd, 2026
Josephine, lovingly referred to as Jojo or just Jo, is a spunky little girl that has entered the program after extensive temperament testing. She is driven and loves to have a job, always bringing her bigger than life attitude to training sessions.
Jo is an incredibly cuddly dog, always wanting to be near you and if able to, in your lap. She likes to be treated like a teddy bear being curled up in your arms! Fun fact about Jo, she can fall asleep anywhere, in any position.
Josephine will be undergoing age appropriate health testing when the time comes, and then if passing will be available for matching with a potential handler.
Coming Soon
