The Puppy Development Center
The mission of the Patriot PAWS Puppy Development Center is to nurture and develop exceptional puppies that will become vital companions for disabled veterans. We selectively breed for optimal health, temperament, and trainability, ensuring each puppy is well-suited for the demands of service work. Through a comprehensive foundation in socialization and early training, we set each puppy on a path to success, preparing them for the life-changing role they will play in supporting the independence and well-being of our Veterans.

Jackie Fox
Director of Breeding & Puppy Development
“Every puppy born at the PDC is born with a higher purpose. We are so lucky to get to be a small part of their journey and help start them off on the right foot. And who wouldn’t want to hang out with puppies all day?”
Lauren Villanueva
PDC Trainer / Puppy Raiser Coordinator
“Working with the puppies and their mommas is a rewarding experience that brings joy and energy to each day! Whether we are training, socializing, or simply cuddling, every moment spent with them creates a deep bond and a sense of fulfillment for me as a trainer.”
Dakotah Jackson
PDC Technician
“My favorite part about working in the PDC is seeing the babies grow from little newborns into little dogs! Watching their growth over the course of their time with us, from babies scooting across their box to playing and recognizing us, is a rewarding experience.”
