Guardian Home Program
Become part of the DreamDoods family by welcoming one of our specially selected parent dogs into your home.
This is a collaborative partnership where your dog lives as your beloved companion while occasionally supporting the future of the DreamDoods program. A special dog with a purpose.
What Is a Guardian Home?
Guardian Homes are loving families who raise one of our parent dogs from puppyhood through retirement. Your dog lives with you full-time as a cherished family pet. ​
When it’s time for their role in the program, we responsibly coordinate. Afterward, your dog returns home to you and continue life as your companion. Our Guardian model ensures that every parent dog lives a full, enriched life inside real homes, surrounded by daily connection, routine, and love.
You’ll raise a thoughtfully selected dog with qualities we aim to carry forward, while helping us provide exceptional family companions and service dogs. It is a meaningful and rewarding experience for both your family and your dog.
Is This the Right Fit?
A strong Guardian Home is typically:
-
A household where someone is home most of the day
-
Stable, calm, and structured
-
Located within reasonable distance of Burlington and/or Ottawa, Ontario
-
Open to a long-term partnership
Experience with dogs is helpful, but what matters most is consistency, commitment, and a genuine love for raising a well-balanced companion.
Current Guardian Opportunity
We’re currently looking for a loving Guardian home for Mavi in the GTA area (proximity to Burlington, ideally)
The ideal fit would be a home where someone is around most of the day. Puppies thrive with presence, consistency, and connection, and we’re hoping to place her in a home that can offer just that.
Experience with dogs is a plus, but what matters most is a family ready to provide a balanced, enriching lifestyle where she can grow into a confident, well-loved companion.
Her Guardian family should live within a reasonable distance of Burlington, Ontario, as ongoing partnership is an important part of the journey.
If this feels aligned with your season of life, we would love to connect.
