A Final Resting Place for Rescue and Service Dogs

Guardians Grove

What is Guardians Grove?

A Place of Peace, Dignity, and Memory

Guardians Grove is a sacred memorial ground built to honor the lives of unadopted rescues and retired service dogs. Nestled in 18 wooded acres, it’s a place where forgotten companions and loyal protectors find lasting rest, surrounded by nature, memory, and love.


Here, every dog is remembered. Every life is celebrated.


It also serves as the start of the Guardian Path for those entering our Foundation. Where one life ends, another starts. These memorial sacred grounds serve as a resting place and a new beginning for all those who enter our gates.



Be Part of the Legacy

Our Process

Not every dog finds a forever home in life. Guardians Grove ensures they find one in death — with honor, with name, and with story. We also offer a beginning for those starting their path. This is where one Guardians path ends, but another one begins.


This is a place for remembrance and renewal.

Burials we offer:

  • Honor Burials – Free burials for unadopted dogs with rescues.
  • Guardian Farewells – Free burials for Service Dogs, Police K9s, and any dog that served during its lifetime.
  • The Unknowns – Burials for those dogs that are strays found on the side of the road or other places that have no name and no owner.

We believe every dog deserves to be buried with dignity and honor.


 

The Guardian Path is an immersive experience designed for individuals, teens, and young adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for something bigger in their lives. This isn’t a vacation — it’s a real reset.

You’ll stay in the main house or one of the cabins at Guardian’s Grove and live the full Guardian lifestyle: structure, routine, discipline, teamwork, responsibility, and hands-on learning. Every day is built around growth.


Over your time here, you will:


  • Train dogs alongside our Purpose 4 Paws instructors
  • Learn how to build, repair, create, and work with your hands
  • Develop off grid living and survival basics
  • Strengthen your mindset, confidence, and independence
  • Build healthier habits, discipline, and structure
  • Discover your identity, purpose, and direction



You’ll wake up with a team, work with a mission, and go to bed knowing you did something real.

The Guardian Path is built to push you, build you, and help you see what you’re truly capable of.


This is your reset. Your jumpstart. Your turning point.

Come take the journey. Come find your purpose. Come start your Guardian Path.
