From our Best Friends in Training litter, we will be gifting one very special puppy to a family who has a special needs family member and who could truly benefit from the love, comfort, and companionship of a dog. Emotionally, mentally, or physically.
The puppy itself will be placed at no charge.
The chosen family’s only financial responsibility will be the cost of training.
This puppy will go directly from us into training with Therapy and Support Animals Australia, completing their full Stay & Train Puppy Program.
Here at Falconwood, we will cover the transport from NSW to Queensland where the training is based.
Throughout the program, the chosen family will receive weekly videos and updates, so they can follow their puppy’s journey from the very beginning. Once training is complete, the family will arrange collection themselves. They will also receive full written and video resources so they feel confident continuing the puppy’s cues, routines, and foundations at home.
Doing it this way means the family isn’t just receiving a puppy. They are receiving a calm, confident best friend who has been set up properly from the start. It also helps the puppy transition into family life smoothly and, where suitable, allows for future therapy style pathways.
We truly believe this approach allows our gift to be placed where it will matter most. Into training, long term support, and the best possible chance of success for both the puppy and the family. We also hope it eases the pressure of needing to fund both training and the purchase of a quality puppy at the same time.
This puppy will be raised, trained, and placed with the same care, intention, and ongoing support as every Falconwood pup.
We are looking for a family where a puppy would genuinely make a huge difference to their everyday life.
🖤 Families may be nominated by someone who knows their story
🖤 Families may also apply directly
🖤 All applications will be carefully and thoughtfully reviewed
🖤 Proof of circumstances will be required and handled privately and respectfully
🖤 The final decision will be based on fit, genuine need, and the wellbeing of both the puppy and the family
🖤 If a family is nominated, they must be aware. This puppy will never be a surprise
🖤 Training is not optional. The cost of training can be discussed
Puppies in this program complete the full Stay & Train Puppy Program, learning foundations such as
• calmness and confidence
• comfort when alone
• crate training
• recall and basic manners
• exposure to a variety of environments
This puppy is not intended to be a certified service or assistance dog, but rather a companion with a purpose. A pup raised with empathy, stability, and heart, for a family who truly needs that presence.
Please understand, we will only be selecting one family, and we may not be able to respond personally to every nomination.
If you know a family whose life could be genuinely changed by the love of one of the Falconwood Family, please reach out on our Contact Us Page.
