Career Change Dogs

Occasionally SDA must decide that a dog is not suitable to become a service dog, because of a health or temperament issue.

SDA does not ship career change dogs. Those interested in adoption must come to our campus in Jud, ND to visit with possible dogs in person.

Career Change Process

SDA reviews all adoption applications on file
Potential adopters and dogs are introduced at our campus to determine fit
All released dogs are spayed/neutered and vaccinations are up to date
Adoption fee ranges $400-$2,000 depending on the dog’s age and training history
Though the dog may not be a service dog, they still make a wonderful pet and companion

Please note: Career changed dogs cannot be used or listed as a working service dog under any circumstances.

Submitting an application does not guarantee an adoption.
