Adopt Another Family Member
When we have a puppy or dog that we do not feel will be suitable as a certified service dog or when there has also been the rare occasion where a puppy or dog must come back to us due to an unforeseen event in their families lives, we make them available to the general public under certain conditions.
We do NOT ship dogs! Those interested in one of our dogs must come to us for an In-Person interview before being considered.
Our adoption process is as follows:
- An adoption application is submitted
- Potential families are introduced to the dogs at our location
- An In-Person interview and assessment will be done to determine the compatibility of the family with the dog
- A deposit may be collected at that time
- No puppy or dog will be released the same day as the interview. A 24 hour waiting period must be observed
- Though the puppy or dog may not be a service dog, they will still make a loving new addition to the family
Please note that these dogs cannot be listed or used as working or service dogs under any circumstances.
Submitting and application does NOT guarantee acceptance to adopt

Once an expectant mother dog is within the last week of pregnancy, the Stellar Acres team of staff and veterinarians begin the whelping process. This means a pregnant dog never gives birth alone, which is important to ensure all puppies have the greatest chance of survival. And like when a human baby is born, it’s important to have capable medical help to make sure all the pups and mother are healthy.

Successful service dogs come from a lineage of successful service dogs. They have certain characteristics, like gentleness and intelligence. The best dogs have the ability to resist innate dog urges like sniffing. The day we get new litter of pups is an exciting one because it is the first day of their journey to becoming service dogs and improving lives.
