About Us

"Welcome to our journey of healing and hope! My service dog, Gigi, has been a true blessing in my life.  I trained her under the guidance of Danielle Scruggs from Carolina Golden's to be both my service dog and to do therapy work with others.  With her unique ability to connect with those in need, Gigi helps ground people and draw their attention to the present moment, allowing them to share their hearts with me. Inspired by her impact, I am excited to pursue my passion for breeding and training service dogs to help others experience the same and support that Gigi has brought into my life."
