We are so excited to announce the launch of our Pupdates website! To honor the passion and dedication of our amazing community, we created this site so everyone can stay 'pup-to-date' on the dogs they love after they return to campus for formal training. This first-of-its-kind site will document each dog's individual journey with images and personal notes from GDB staff and volunteers.
