[nagdu] Can they do it?

[Jenine Stanley]

Hi Jewel and List, 

Sorry this response is so late. I was away from email for the New Year
holidays. 

Of course GDF will not just summarily take your dog away because of this
change in your living situation. In fact, we are here should you have any
difficulty in this new situation getting your dog adapted, dealing with any
paperwork requirements to prove her work, etc. We've done it for others in
your situation. 

I realize that people are still a bit sensitive to schools just taking their
dogs away but that doesn't happen at GDF. 

That does not mean we ever reclaim a dog. It means that there is a long and
involved process to doing so that does feature some lengthy communication
with the handler. If you own your dog, as you do, that communication comes
only after a third party with legal authority is involved. 

Your living situation also does not change your ability to receive after
care if needed or requested. 

Please, if you have any questions of this type, call us first before just
listening to friends who may or may not have had bad experiences and base
their advice on that. 

We wish everyone the very best ion the new year.

Due to mental and physical illness, I am moving to a group home. But this
change will not affect my work with my guide dog, as I will be going out
every day, especially whim I start attending university in the fall. I have
a few friends who said the guide dog school might take Faye away because id
my placement in a group home. I signed papers taking ownership of her, and I
will continue her annual vet visits and medicine. Will they take her away?
It would be taking my independence away as Faye helps me get around every
day. 
Worried, 
Jewel
