NeoLife is currently with her puppy raiser. She is being taught a foundation of house manners and cues, for becoming a well-socialized part of the community.
All of the training and care provided to each dog would not be possible without the support of generous volunteers and donors.
Breed: Labrador Retriever
Gender: Female
Date of Birth: April 28, 2023
Sire: PADS Zegen
Dam: NSD Chip
Litter: N Litter
Sponsor: Shelley Sheridan of NeoLife. NeoLife means “New Life”. This name was chosen for three reasons. First, my business and association with the company NeoLife has transformed my life in so many ways. Secondly, the income I earn opened a door to giving back to NSD by way of annually sponsoring a Puppy-In-Training. And lastly, I strongly believe that this little puppy, NSD NeoLife, will impact many lives along her journey, and give a “New Life” to someone in need as a Service Dog and/or Best Friend.
Volunteer Team: Morgan Ellis & Trey Larue, Candice Smeltzer

Neo is a very smart and full of life girl. She is very quick to learn new tasks which there are a lot of at this age. She likes to be with people and will settle at your feet anywhere in the house you would like to go. That being said she is always keen to go on an adventure and loves to play. Neo likes to be outside and really likes to be in the sandbox with the kids. But her favourite activity is playing fetch in the house.
Neo is working on her loose leash walking and impulse control. She is doing well but sometimes forgets and really wants to see what’s up ahead sooner than we can get there. She can be redirected quickly as she really likes her kibbles.
Neo’s most recent accomplishment is wearing her vest and going into a store for the first time. She was a super star and acted like she has been doing it for years!

NeoLife is learning how to settle in a number of settings and how to cuddle in new ways that will be used to support a future partner. She is finishing grade school and will be moving to high school next month.
