Griffin's Legacy is a transformative program dedicated to rescuing dogs from dire situations and providing them with a new purpose as certified service animals. With a mission to save these dogs and rehabilitate them into skilled service companions, Griffin's Legacy offers a beacon of hope for both the canines and the individuals in need of support.
At its core, Griffin's Legacy operates in tandem with Circle L on the principle of compassion and responsibility towards animals in distress. Dogs that would otherwise face uncertain fates due to neglect, abandonment, or overcrowded shelters are given a second chance through our joint program. Through strategic partnerships with partner rescues, regional shelters and pounds, and our cherished veterinary clinic, we identify dogs with the potential for service work and bring them into our care.
The heart of our program lies in the comprehensive training regimen tailored to each dog's unique temperament, abilities, and potential through our trainer K-9 Lane. Griffin's Legacy employs balanced training methods, incorporating positive reinforcement techniques alongside gentle corrections to instill obedience, confidence, and trust in our canine trainees. Our trainer work tirelessly to nurture the dogs' innate qualities while addressing any behavioral challenges they may exhibit.
Once the dogs have completed their training and achieved certification as service animals, they are matched with individuals in need of assistance. These recipients may include individuals with physical disabilities, psychiatric disorders, or other special needs. By providing highly trained service dogs at no cost to the recipients, Griffin's Legacy breaks down financial barriers that often prevent individuals from accessing these invaluable companions.
The impact of Griffin's Legacy extends far beyond the lives of the dogs and their recipients. Each successful placement represents a triumph of resilience, compassion, and cooperation. For the dogs, it means finding a loving home and a fulfilling purpose. For the recipients, it means gaining newfound independence, confidence, and companionship.
In essence, Griffin's Legacy is a beacon of hope, bridging the gap between dogs in need and individuals seeking support. Through our dedication to saving lives, transforming futures, and fostering bonds of unconditional love, we strive to make the world a better place—transforming lives... one shelter dog at a time. Join us in our mission to turn strays into service heroes and make a difference in the lives of both humans and animals alike.

Since I started training, this was my goal. That's why I started training in the first place. But I couldn't stay in San Diego with Shelter to Soldier. That wasn't my path. It's amazing to see from then to now, everything I ever dreamed of coming true... - K-9 Lane
