Through the Assistance Dogs International Breeding Cooperative (ABC), this litter was shared with three other accredited service dog organizations to ensure genetic diversity and balance within our dog training programs. We also received six additional puppies from other service dog organizations and reputable breeders during this period. We also received six additional puppies from other service dog organizations and reputable breeders during this period.Our reinvigorated therapy dog program became an AKC recognized program in June 2023 and we currently have 11 active teams conducting visits throughout the region.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
