110 pounds. Eleven Akbash and ten
Rotweiler puppies, now four weeks

weeks. The program will soon
expand to include breeds that will
service the hearing impaired.

Jean is very concerned about
each dog raised through her
organization, that they are mat
ched well with their owner, that
they are trained in a non
threatening environment, and that
they will be provided with a
committed and caring home before
and after they are finally placed.
Home visits will be conducted from
Independence Dogs staff to 4-H
families, to lend support and
guidance.
Families and committed 4-Hers
are needed! Raising a puppy is a
big responsibility, but one that
provides a wonderful learning
experience and sense of respon

Socialization, care, and love of the
Independence Dogs puppy are
three key necessities required by
the family.
