🐾❤️ WE ARE MORE THAN A DOG TRAINING BUSINESS. WE ARE CHANGING LIVES. ❤️🐾
At Nose, Eyes, Ears Dog Training, our mission has always been about more than teaching dogs how to sit, stay, or walk nicely on a leash.
It’s about understanding them, advocating for them, giving them the opportunity to succeed, and helping them live long, happy, safe, and fulfilled lives.
One of the most meaningful ways we accomplish this is through our Owner Surrender Program.
❤️ WHAT IS OUR SURRENDER PROGRAM?
Sometimes life changes. Sometimes a dog’s behavioral needs become more than a family feels equipped to manage. Sometimes, despite how much someone loves their dog, they recognize that their current situation may not be the best fit.
Our surrender program was created to give these dogs another opportunity.
When a dog is surrendered to Nose, Eyes, Ears Dog Training, they don’t simply enter a temporary boarding arrangement.
They become part of our family.
They come into our home, live alongside us and our pack, and receive the time, patience, structure, training, and care they need to prepare for the next chapter of their lives.
And most importantly?
There is no deadline on their progress.
🐶 WHAT DOES LIFE LOOK LIKE FOR A DOG IN OUR PROGRAM?
Every dog arrives with their own personality, history, challenges, and needs.
We don’t expect them to immediately adjust to a new environment, and we certainly don’t expect them to become a completely different dog overnight.
First, we let them settle.
We fill their bellies. We give them a comfortable place to rest. We establish routines, create predictability, and give them time to decompress.
We begin learning who they are, what makes them comfortable, what makes them nervous, what they enjoy, and what they need from us.
Then, we begin the work.
🐾 Individualized Training & Behavioral Support
Every dog receives training based on their individual needs. Whether they’re struggling with fear, anxiety, reactivity, impulse control, basic obedience, or simply learning how to navigate everyday life, we work with them at their own pace.
Our goal isn’t to rush a dog into adoption.
It’s to help them become the most confident, balanced, and fulfilled version of themselves.
🐾 A Home Environment, Not Just a Kennel
Our surrender dogs live with us full-time.
They become part of our daily routines, experience life alongside our pack, and learn how to coexist with other animals and people.
This gives us the opportunity to truly understand each dog beyond what we might see during a short evaluation or training session.
We learn their habits, their personalities, their preferences, their struggles, and all the little things that make them who they are.
That knowledge is invaluable when it comes time to find their forever home.
🐾 Complete Veterinary Care
While they’re in our care, we take responsibility for ensuring their medical needs are addressed.
That includes necessary veterinary appointments, vaccinations, medical treatment, spaying or neutering when appropriate, and microchipping.
Their physical health is just as important as their behavioral progress.
🐾 Thoughtful, Long-Term Placement
We don’t believe that finding a dog any home is the same as finding them the right home.
Before one of our surrender dogs becomes available for adoption, we want to understand exactly what kind of household will allow them to thrive.
What level of activity do they need?
Would they enjoy living with other dogs?
Are they comfortable around cats?
What kind of structure helps them succeed?
What challenges might their future family need to understand?
What environment will allow them to feel safe, confident, and fulfilled?
These are the questions we work to answer before placing them with their forever family.
❤️ WE DON’T PUT A TIME LIMIT ON SECOND CHANCES.
Because of the amount of care and preparation involved, our surrender dogs typically remain with us much longer than they might in a traditional shelter or rescue setting.
We generally care for our surrender dogs for at least six months before making them available for adoption.
Some need even longer.
We’ve had dogs remain with us for almost two years before they were ready for the next chapter of their lives.
And that’s okay.
Every dog progresses differently.
Some need time to trust.
Some need time to heal.
Some need time to learn.
And some simply need someone willing to believe in them long enough for them to discover what they’re capable of.
We are willing to give them that time.
🐾 MEET OUR CURRENT SURRENDER DOGS!
❤️ Karma — Our beautiful 3-year-old Boxer is officially available for adoption! She’s ready to find the forever family who will love her, keep her active, and continue giving her the fulfilled life she deserves.
☀️ Sunshine — Sunshine is still working through her own journey with us. She isn’t quite ready for adoption yet, but we’re hopeful she’ll be ready to begin looking for her forever home in the coming months!
Both of these girls have their own stories, personalities, and lessons to teach us. We are incredibly grateful to be part of their journeys.
❤️ THE HARDEST PART IS SAYING GOODBYE.
When you spend six months, a year, or even two years caring for a dog every single day, it’s impossible not to fall in love.
We celebrate their victories.
We work through their difficult days.
We learn their quirks.
We watch their personalities blossom.
They become part of our routines, our home, and our hearts.
And when the time finally comes to say goodbye, it is never easy.
But we remind ourselves of something important:
If we kept every dog we fell in love with, we wouldn’t have the space to help the next one who needs us.
Every dog who comes through our doors has a purpose.
Every single one teaches us something new.
And every goodbye creates the opportunity for another dog to receive the same love, patience, and second chance.
🐾 A LABOR OF LOVE
Providing this level of care is an enormous commitment, emotionally, physically, and financially.
Between food, veterinary care, medications, training, daily enrichment, supplies, and the months or years these dogs spend living with us, the expenses add up quickly.
The one-time surrender fee helps support their care, but it has never covered the full cost of everything we provide.
And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Because these dogs deserve more than simply being housed until someone adopts them.
They deserve to be understood.
They deserve to be healthy.
They deserve to feel safe.
They deserve to experience joy.
They deserve someone who is willing to put in the time and effort to give them the best possible future.
And that’s exactly what we’re here to do.
❤️ HOW YOU CAN BE PART OF THEIR JOURNEY
Whether you’ve trusted us with your own dog’s training, shared one of our adoption posts, recommended our services, or simply followed along as these dogs grow, you are helping us continue this mission.
For anyone who has ever wanted to support the dogs in our surrender program a little more directly, contributions toward their food, veterinary care, and daily needs are always appreciated.
🐾 Venmo:
There is absolutely no expectation to donate. Sharing their stories, spreading the word, and helping us connect these dogs with the right families is just as meaningful.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting what we do.
We may be known as a dog training and boarding business, but the work we do goes so much deeper than that.
We’re building confidence.
We’re restoring trust.
We’re creating opportunities.
We’re finding families.
And most importantly, we’re giving dogs the chance to live the lives they deserve.
To every dog who has been part of our home, past, present, and future:
Thank you for trusting us with your journey. We love you all, and we will always be cheering you on. ❤️🐾
Nose, Eyes, Ears Dog Training
Trust. Respect. Love.
