Vietnam Veteran, Dale Grossinger along with Trisha Field
donated a Fawn Female Doberman to Eagle’s Healing Nest in Sauk Center,
Minnesota. As a portion of their
programs the Eagle’s Healing Nest receives donated puppies. The residents apply to receive a puppy and as
they are available they enter the program to begin raising their service dogs.

Every Monday is obedience training. On designated Thursdays they have Patriot Assistance
Dogs come in for more extensive training.
Each puppy starts with obedience training and then it goes through the
Canine Good Citizen test. Once it
receives its certificate it is ready for the final training and testing to
become a formal service dog. The
veterans train their own dogs which adds to their healing process. Everyone who owns a dog knows and understands
that dogs give pure love. Caring for
animals of every kind bring healing to the human soul.
Missy was one of two female fawn Dobermans in the
litter. She went through personality
testing and was the perfect personality for a service dog. She will become the service dog for Richard
Ader. Richard served in Afghanistan from
2009-2010. This is one small way that we
can say thank you for your service.

I would like to give a challenge to everyone that has a
puppy litter: contact the Eagle’s Healing Nest and offer to donate one of your
puppies to the program. Together we can
provide a service dog for every veteran in need.
