Nate is a Standard Poodle and was donated at 9 weeks old by the Primera family on May 13, 2006.

Sharon and I drove over 50 miles to the Primera home hoping to acquire a female puppy. We tested three females and three males and one little male passed all the test. We deemed him our new Service Dog puppy in training and named him Nate.

In 2006 we met a young woman named Kelly Leach and we were training Nate for her. Now, in 2008 Kelly's doctors and family decided that she was not ready for a Service Dog.

In 2008 we found the perfect Recipient for Nate, Robert Eaton. Robert needs donations to help pay for Nate.
