What is PUPT?
Pawsibilities Unleashed Pet Therapy (PUPT) of Kentucky is a therapy pet and service dog non-profit organization in Central Kentucky. In addition to doing therapy work with our own animals, we also rescue potential therapy pets, service dogs, and companion animals from local shelters, humane societies, and rescues.

Because the dogs we rescue will have such important jobs, we select our dogs based on the temperament of the animal. Temperament is always our number one priority and any dog that shows us unacceptable temperament is not accepted into our program.

We feel strongly that it is unethical for rescues of any kind to place dangerous dogs.

Our PUPT trainers also offer dog /puppy training classes in obedience, leadership and aggression rehabilitation.
