The Dory J Graham Memorial Fountaion
The puppies on this page are for children or adults in need of a Service Dog or Emotional Support Animal and who can’t afford our regular prices and the cost paid for your Bernedoodle will go towards a student’s scholarship! Bernedoodle Puppies on this page are offered at a discount but they are not free, unfortunately, because I would like to be a great employer to my amazing employees 🙂 However, they are discounted.
Priority will go to individuals with the need for a Service Dog or ESA, our brave Veterans, School Counselors, Schools, First Responders, Therapists, Psychologists, Police Officers and Fire Departments, Substance Use Disorder Treatment Centers, and School/Child/Adolescent Licensed Social Workers who are in need of an emotional support animal, service animal or companion animal for themselves and/or for work!
Training is not included in this program. Please inquire with Kim on the “Contact Us” Page!
🎓 Congratulations, SHAYLEE!🎓
Shaylee is one of our amazing MBD employees and worked for me for 2 years, while in high school! She just graduated HS and is now off to COLLEGE! Shaylee is the recipient of the 2024-2025 Dory J Graham Foundation Scholarship!
Dory’s Mission
A college education was always instilled in us as an important part of growing up. This fund was started to support our MBD employees, many of whom are emerging adults, in their journey to the gaining the knowledge needed in order to make an honest living, while enjoying their career and making a positive contribution to our society
And…
Giving back to our BRAVE men and women in uniform should always be an important part of any business. This fund was also started to provide a future Service Dog, Emotional Support Animal or Comfort Animal to members of our community who have the need for an ESA dog and who served to fight for our FREEDOMS in any US or Israeli Uniform. Thank you!
We are honored to give back to our community.
NEXT STEPS:
1) I ask for a general recommendation letter from your doctor. This must be sent from your doctor to my email directly, upon request.
The letter should state your name and the service the puppy would eventually be providing. However, I do not ask or require any protected personal/medical information. We do not need to know the specifics at all.
2) A donation, that you can afford. Donations will go towards educational scholarships for our MBD employees.
The minimum suggested donation is $3500
About The Dory J. Graham Memorial Fund
The Dory Jean Graham Memorial Fund, is in honor of my mother who passed away from cancer.
In my family, College wasn’t thought of as an option. We were raised thinking that after high school comes college and so, we all went to college. Not everyone is as fortunate to have that kind of “true north” guidance and money is a factor when it comes to higher education.
The suggested minimum donation is $3500. 100% will go towards the care of the puppy and to an MBD employee headed to college in 2025-2026 academic year. However, if you are unable to afford the suggested minimum, please apply anyway! It all balances out in the end.
If you are interested in an ESA, Companion or service dog and meet any criteria above, please fill out the puppy adoption application and then email me at puppyinquiries@MAbernedoodles.com subject line “Dory Jean Graham Memorial Fund”

You can PayPal me at PuppyInquiries@MABernedoodles.con or you can use the PayPal deposit button for amounts greater than $500.
