Retirement is an emotional time for both the human partner and the dog, after having worked so closely together for so many years. Retired service dogs are welcome to live out their retirement with their partner; some people may choose to allow a family member or close friend to adopt the retiree. If the graduate so chooses, SDV can assist them in finding an appropriate retirement home for their friend’s golden years.
