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.
